Eden's Big Kindergarden Graduation

Last week we had two important events at Eden's school. On Thursday she had her awards ceremony and brought home a trophy that made us proud. The trophy she received was the Christian Character Award for her class. She was super excited and said, "This is the first trophy that I've ever got!" She didn't quite understand what the trophy was for so we explained what Christian character was and told her how proud we were of her. Her cousins Ashleigh and Caitlyn Knight also received the same trophy. We love these girls so much and are very proud of them too and are thankful that Eden's has two "big" cousins to look up too.

Eden also got two certificates- One for being Most Observant and those that know Eden well you know that this is so true. The other was for Scripture Memory.

On Thursday night we headed back to the church for her big Graduation. We curled her hair that afternoon and she was super excited about it. She did AWESOME, but it also made me a little sad to think that she is not a baby anymore, she has completed her first real year of school. They say that after kindergarten the years fly by. Eden has already grown into a very sweet and lovable little girl and I know that God has great plans for her life. At night during our bedtime prayers she asks God to help all of her family to be saved. I think that she has a very sincere heart for God and I pray that He will continue work in her life. We're proud of you Eden Girl and we love you very much!!

Thanks to everyone that came to share in this special time in Eden's life. She is making memories that she'll never forget. Also thanks to everyone that sent her a card or gift that wasn't able to make it, I know you were with us in heart.

Much Love
Cheryl
