This past weekend was a big one for our family. Over just a couple of days we celebrated both Reed's Kindergarten graduation and Barrett's baby dedication!
Due to COVID restrictions, Reed's graduation was very small and was held outdoors. The kiddos sang a couple of songs and had snacks. I didn't cry (at the graduation)- I was just so proud and happy for Reed. He has had the best year, and I can't wait to spend the summer together.
Reed was ready to GO through the entire graduation celebration (not sad and weepy like his mother was as a child when the time came for summer break). He spent the singing time jostling his friends, and then grabbed a cookie, hugged his teacher, and ran out to play. See ya!

Even if Reed was reluctant to celebrate, I couldn't help but take a walk down the memory lane of this past year. What a strange year to be a kindergartner! Reed was blessed to have fantastic teachers who worked so hard to make his year as normal as possible. Here is a highlight reel of some of my favorite moments:
They put on a play in which he played the role of a king-

Had costume days and holiday parties...
Celebrated the first of many snow days and the arrival of the tooth fairy...
... and overall just made school a fun and special place to be each day. We never felt like we were forcing Reed to go to school; he couldn't wait to go every day! Most of all, he learned a ton, made great friends, and grew in his relationship with Jesus.
We are so thankful for Reed's Kindergarten year.
