Last night Kelly took part in her 8th grade buddy’s graduation ceremony. This mostly involved walking with them up to the front of the stage.

This afternoon Kelly’s class had a small moving up ceremony where they showed a self portrait they’d drawn at the beginning of the year and then at the end. Then the kids walked (or bounced on their knees) up to the teachers to get their certificates.

Last weekend Kelly had her 6th birthday party, a tea party from which we probably haven’t fully recovered. We already dread coming up with a plan for one next year, only a short 51 weeks away!
We started things off with some cupcake decorating:

Then got down to business with the tea party:

And finally, cupcakes and Happy Birthdays:
Here’s Kelly at her school Chinese New Years presentation. She’s the one speaking with the rabbit ears. Her line was “Rabbits are Gracious, kind and soft-spoken.” There was several hundred kids and parents in the crowd.
On the weekend Kelly rode her bike without training wheels for the first time.
