Celebrations...

















Congratulations and celebrations, you made me very proud today!  Emilie graduated today from her pre-K class.  Yes, a small achievement but a big milestone.  Today I learnt why graduation is considered to be such a big event in life.  Sure it is an achievement, but it means a lot more than that for the parents of the achiever.  Watching my five year old walk to get her "diploma" gave me a sense of pride and silent joy.  The type that only a soul can cherish and a heart can know.  After all these years, today I realized why my parents had tears in their eyes and a smile on their lips when all I could think of was "thank God" it's over...

The cake was a mellow lemon flavor with cream cheese frosting (both inside and on top).  Edible decorations mimicked things that were part of her life in school: letters, numbers, puzzles, soccer, rainbow and all things bright.
