Lily graduated from 5th Grade at Glen Oaks Elementary on June 6, 2013. After a very tough year full of growing pains, Lily woke up to a new beginning. She wore a dress she picked out specifically for this day...
Sofie wanted a picture with her big sis before school. She is going to miss being at school with Lily next year. They won't be together again in the same building until Sofie is in 6th grade and Lily is in 8th. I will miss hearing them tell me stories of their hugs in the hallway and having each other's back at recess. My favorite story is when Lily saw Sofie being bullied by a boy while she was outside for PE and Sofie was at recess. She yelled at the boy about how he was treating Sofie. Then the girls went off to play on the swings together. Anther great story was when Sofie saw a girl that is notoriously mean to Lily. Sofie walked up the girl and said, "Be nice to my sister!" I love their friendship!
We gave her two new charms for her locket to celebrate her big day...a horse shoe and a music note. Both represent all that waits for her as a Cockrill Cowboy. She can't wait to join choir in middle school.
The ceremony was short and sweet...like our girl!
We could not be more proud of Lily. She has shown tremendous courage and perseverance through many great challenges this year.
Brylee and Skyler are two of her friends from Glen Oaks. No doubt, she will miss them next year when she goes to Cockrill.
But a new beginning awaits her at Cockrill Middle School. She is just a little excited!!
