Today, Miss Bailey Marx graduated from St. John's Pre-school. She was fortunate enough to have her Mom, Dad & Brother, two Gramma's and one Great-Gramma in attendance.
Bailey surprised me by marching into the sanctuary in her little blue cap and gown in a most sombre manner. Anyone knowing our little lady knows that she is usually bouncing with energy unbounded. Not today. It was as if she truly understood this was a big moment in her life.
Bailey sang all the songs with great enthusiasm and all the right hand motions. This girl loves her music. Then she marched down and sat on the row with her class to await the time to receive her children's Bible from Ms. Peggy, her pre-school teacher.
Bailey came back to the row we were sitting on to watch the graduation. She was glowing and so happy with her Bible. This is Claude and Bailey.
After the completion of graduation we got some family pictures. This is Bailey with her mom and Dad (Andie & Michael).
This the Gramma Bonnie with the Marx family.
The is me and Claude with the Marx family.
In the gym the kids and their families were treated to hot dogs, chips, snow cones and pop corn. There was a magician setting up to entertain the kids. Hayden and Bailey were fascinated with him. We looked up at one point and found Bailey standing by Steve-O the Magician and being his helper.
When we returned to Casa Marx, we were treated to Big R Barbeque. Yum!! Then Andie brought out special graduation cupcakes just for Bailey's big day.
Bailey opened her presents. Then we spent the afternoon in conversation and play and a little bit of napping for some. Claude, Bonnie and I needed to head for home so good-bye's were said and hugs were given and received and we were off for the return trip to Sadieville.
It was a delightful day.
I want to close with a few pictures of Hayden and Bailey. I took Bailey back to hang up her cap and gown. Hayden joined us. After we gave the cap and gown back I suggested to Hayden and Bailey that we take a few pictures and surprise Mommy with them. These were their impromptu shots and pictures I'll treasure of these little Mini's.
