Emily's First Day of First Grade

Today was Emily's first day of first grade.  She loves school and was so excited for school to start.  We went to the back to school night last night and she was able to meet her teacher and see her classroom.  This just made her even more excited for today.  

 We started off the morning with a yummy breakfast... Emily's favorite "Roll-Up" Pancakes.  With her going to school all day, I wanted to make sure that she had a good breakfast to start her day off right.

 Emily picked out her outfit and decided on how she wanted to do her hair.  (While we were in CA this summer, her Aunt Kearis got her hooked on a kid's hairstyle blog and she has been obsessed ever since.  I got off lucky today!)

A gift for her teacher.

Emily has become so "grown up" and independent.  She just walked right in and left her dad, sisters and me in the hall without even saying goodbye.  :) I know that she had a great first day!
