Elise was thrilled to be chosen as the Mardi Gras Maid for her 1st grade class. Unlike in kindergarten, where everyone is a Maid and a Duke, in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd one boy and one girl represent each class.
So, it was already a very exciting day for us, and then we heard the super exciting news that Erinn was in labor and we would be getting a new family member today!!!
We were able to borrow her pretty dress from Riley and Mimi had this old lace which Elise used as a shawl, and some chiffon which we attached to the back as a train. A tiara and her pearls and she was set!
The school stage all ready for the Ball.
One of the classes kicked off the festivities with a special Mardi Gras performance.
Then it was time for the presentations-
Elise's adorable Duke, Ladd, presented her with tulips on stage. How sweet is he?!
Think the above pic may be one of my favorites of all time. Too bad I took it with my iphone and not the good camera- but at least I captured the precious moment.
As Elise and Ladd walked across the stage the principal read interviews that they had each done of each of the students.
Elise said she loves to play with her dog, Boss. She also said she looks forward to our family beach trip every year around her birthday. And lastly she said she would like to be a kindergarten teacher when she grows up- no doubt inspired by the fab Ms. Farris.
Another picture of the cuties!
Elise was thrilled that both sets of Grandparents made it to her Ball. It meant so much to her!
Immediately after my parents, David, and I made a mad dash to the hospital to await sweet Greyson's arrival!!!!
