Special Day

At Carly & Joiner's school they have a Special Day during the year. We chose to have theirs near their birthday. So on Thursday, Gigi took a day from her class and we were both the parent helpers for the morning. It was a great time and we all really appreciate Gigi taking time from kindergartners to hang out at preschool!

As I have said in other posts, the girls' school does a lot with UNC School of the Arts. Since November, their class acts out the Nutcracker almost each morning. They get different roles and to learn each part well. This knowledge was invaluable when we saw the actual play Saturday.

Carly loves to take part in the play, but Joiner is usually in the audience. However, on her Special Day, Joiner was the Snow Queen. She was really pleased with herself. You can see her in her class rocking the nutcrackers to sleep.

We made a poster with 4 years worth of pictures of the girls to show their friends. They stayed together to do this and to have the cupcakes we brought for snack.
