Today was Lakehills Montessori’s Fall Festival party. It was even bigger and better than last year:

Since it was fall break at school last week, Gabriella’s class celebrated her birthday today. Mama and daddy came to her classroom. Gabriella walked around a sun, while holding a globe four times as a symbol of each year of her life. As she walked her teacher told a story about each year (that mama and daddy had provided) and showed a picture from that year, as well. We also brought yummy iced cookies from Merritt’s for all the kids and her teachers.

Patiently waiting:
