We were all beaming from ear to ear.
So today, I got her a bunch of little goodies to celebrate. The day fell on her graduation from 5th grade. She had this waiting.

The best year 2024 for school to end and begin. We ended 5th grade SO MUCH better than it began. I love teaching her and watching her learn.
I couldn’t be more grateful for her and being her mommy.
Amen!! XXOO
May you do BIG things!
