The Mini Miss K

Our best girl had her 6th Grade Graduation ceremony this week!

My one and only niece is a Jesus-loving, courageous, athletic, funny, creative, fiercely competitive, popular, kindhearted, intuitive, feisty, smart, fashionable, decisive, beautiful, resilient, effervescent, one-of-a-kind sparkling gem of a person!  She's good at reading the room and has a gift for planning fun things and bringing people together, much like Chettles.  I adore her, and I am confident she will continue to shine and grow as life moves forward. ❤

She wanted it to be fun surprise for us that she (as newly-elected 7th Grade Chaplain) got to lead the Scripture reading and prayer... it definitely was!!  This = one of my infamous prayer pics, but it had to be done! lol

Walking the stage!  (And in less than 10 days, Triston will do the same for his Senior graduation, both happening during Josh Bullard's final year as CHA Headmaster!!)

Post-ceremony pics with the fam!!

The Jaceman surprised us choosing the purple suit last year, but it was perfect for him.  And Kyndal Faith surprised us going with a plain navy dress over something glittery, but she rocked it along with her sparkly boots and headband, and it was perfect too - I just love them both!!  It's so fun to watch them grow and learn and change!

Class of 2032 group pic! Fun fact: Much like myself, her school years move right along with the numbers... 7th grade in 2027, 8th in 2028, etc.  My 6th grade graduation was 1996, 7th grade in 1997, and so on.  So Lord willing, she'll walk that CHA stage as a Senior exactly 30 years after me!! =)

Coach Nikki came to celebrate Kyn and Aniston - she's the best!  The middle pic = Talon, Story, Colin, Kyndal, and Ellery (four of her very favorite people in her class, to my knowledge, so I was happy to capture that moment).  And the bottom is a pic with her teachers!

Throwback to J's Graduation last year!  They've decided to call it a Promotion Ceremony instead of Graduation (whatever on that, but we don't love change)... and they put it oddly early in the year and moved it from a 6pm night event to a 1pm event I had to take off work for... worth it, but an annoying move on CHA's part!

Having said that, this change DID give me the extra time to write a card, order a last-minute cookiecake, and grab some perfume and lip gloss at the Sooner Mall for Kyndal before family dinner!!

For short notice, they did good on the cookiecake!

Family pic after our traditional spaghetti dinner (Kyndal's consistent favorite, even if the rest of us prefer more variety).   This was also T-man's last night before the Senior trip to Boston, so it was a fun dinner talking about all of the above!

A quickly-assembled-but-still-great slideshow!

Congrats, Mini-Miss K!!
