My oldest child is a middle schooler!

I cannot get over the fact I now have a middle schooler in this house. How in the world did this happen? I swear it was only yesterday that she was born! I love my little Peanut and couldn't be prouder of her. However, age can slow down at any point! We celebrated her achievement today and thanks to Chinet, we were able to do it in style.

*Note - we were given a package with plates, napkins, cups, and other goodies from Chinet through House Party. We were not required to blog about it, and all opinions are my own.*

Late in the evening of February 28, 2003. We all waited impatiently for Adella (Peanut) to make her presence into the world. Grandma Mo and daddy were present, and mommy was so tired. After HOURS of waiting and very little time for actual delivery, we were greeted with our first child at 10:01pm.

While Adella is my only child that went to preschool, the pictures really started when she started school. In 2008, she was enrolled in Crestview Elementary in Overland Park, KS. Between 2008 and 2014, she attended Crestview, The Birdcage (home school), Indian Valley Elementary, and New Chelsea Elementary School. I cannot believe she has grown up so fast. I made a video slide show and be warned ... you MAY just tear up.

Today, we got to have a graduation celebration with family and friends. Through HouseParty, I threw a Chinet party with their new plates, "It's Hip to Be Square." We LOVED them. Their cups are awesome because they look super classy, without looking cheap. Here are a few of the photos from the party. We had a taco bar, chips & dip, cookies, cake, and punch. Adella really enjoyed herself and I was happy to give her the party she desperately wanted!

Most of the group ... there are 5 people not in this photo that were there. :)
