Kindergarten Kickoff Dinner

Last Tuesday night, I, along with another friend, hosted a Kindergarten Kickoff dinner for all of our friends from the club who are starting kindergarten this fall.  The Country Club has quite a group of kiddos starting this year, and I wanted to do something special for these kiddos! I think we invited 19 and we had 13 able to come. It was a fun night celebrating!


We had a table on the porch for all of the kids and the families all sat in the dining room. I put a big piece of construction paper at each table setting to use as a placemat/coloring paper while they waited for food.  I cut out a bunch of stars and scattered them all over the table.  I hit up the dollar store and got a ton of goodies for the table as well...

I got these yummy cookies from Trader Joes that are alphabet cookies and I scattered them down the table as well.  The kids all munched on these while waiting for their food to arrive.



All set up and ready for our guests!

I made this big CLASS OF 2028 sign for the kids to take a picture with. I decided to hang it up and it was driving me crazy that it was off center.  I sent it to my friend asking if I was crazy to be bothered by the off-centered-ness of it and she said "I would be more bothered by it saying ASS OF 2028..." #thankyoujulie. 

So I moved it down.  It is hard to see in there with the sun shining behind it, but it was bright in the room. Cal posed for a picture in front of the sign.


 A few final touches and I was sweating-- oh yeah, there was no air in the room.  I was a HOT mess in there! Oh, and Cal and Andy were playing tag in the dining room while I was doing this.  I may or may not have told Cal he would have to sit out his own kindergarten dinner....

Ready for kindergarten!

He has been all about his croakies lately... he wears some sweet shades around his neck.... hahahahahaha

 Cal with Maggie!

Some of the sweet kiddos hanging out. 

Part of the group.  These kids were SO well behaved! Like, way more behaved than I was anticipating!

Right after they ordered their dinner, I had them all run outside to take pictures of the class... 

I would love to be able to take another one of this group in 2028...! Can you imagine?? Someone suggested I save this sign and have them hold up the exact same sign when they graduate high school.  Yeah.... I am not sure I am that organized.  But maybe...?
After dinner, the kids hit up the ice cream bar and played some before it was time to head home! It was a super fun night celebrating these sweet kids!
