Primary Parts 2015

We just had the most lovely primary program! Our good friend Brittany McBride is the music leader and she had someone write a violin part to accompany the song "Come Unto Me." She also taught the kids sign language to the final song and that was so neat. The Primary presidency asked that everyone fill out comment card so that they could read positive feedback to the kids afterwards. Jillian and Peter's after school art teacher is also her primary teacher and she had each of her kids draw and color pictures of their own baptisms that they showed during their parts. It was SUCH a sweet and strong spirit from beginning to end. I know the Savior loves those kids and is proud of what they are learning. Primary really is where it's at!

Jillian: "Baptism leads me closer to Jesus Christ. When I was baptized, all my sins were washed away and I felt like a better person." (Not 100% sure that doctrinally correct since technically she didn't have any sins because she was baptized at age eight but there were a few weeks between her baptism and her birthday:) Also the presidency let the big kids write their parts, so I'm glad she was able to keep what she wrote herself.)

Peter:

Lucy: I follow Jesus' example by sharing my toys with my brother and sisters.

Peter's first and last days of 1st Grade

My best friends in first grade were: Heath, Robert, Curtis and James. My favorite subject was science. My favorite special was art. My favorite food is cheese pizza. My favorite colors are gold and blue. I learned tp play mysterie box wall ball. My favorite first grade event was field day. I am looking forward to going fishing with brand new fishing rods.

I love these photos of his first and last days of school. He looks so much more confident and happy on the last day, so I'd say it was a successful year!
