Sixth Grade Promotion

Kalli had a 1940s theme promotion (graduation) theme from Bonneville Elementary School.  Honestly, I can't believe I started her there 7 years ago as a cute little kindergardener. Where has my little girl gone? After their smashing program full of songs and dances from the 40s, and a personalized slide show highlighting each of the 6th grade students (forever long!) - we thought we'd make the day extra special for our girl.  Waiting outside after her cast party was a cherry red (rental - of course) Mini Cooper for an afternoon full of fun.  We drove around the neighborhood with the top down honking and celebrating and then took it for multiple spins - even giving the neighborhood kids some celebratory rides.  We took the kids to dinner (can you believe we squeezed our entire family into that little thing?  double buckling anyone?).  Talk about a cheap thrill to make the day feel extra special.  The only problem is setting a precedence down the line...now Ella and Max are plotting a car choice for their turn.
