YEA!!! The Grace girls BOTH won awards this month at their school award ceremony!
And, not only did they both win awards, they both won the Learned Leader award.
Steve and I were so proud!
M.c.G.A.U.G.H.. McGaugh! McGaugh! Yea, McGaugh!!
So, this is how it works. If your child is receiving an award, the teacher sends home a 'secret' note letting the parents know when and what time to show up for the awards ceremony. About a week before, we got one 'secret' note from Ryan's teacher and then on the next day, we got one from Charlie's teacher. Funny, I know... they swear they didn't plan it this way. The very same award, on the very same day! So, on the morning of the ceremony, daddy and I tried to be sneaky and hide a little bit so the kids wouldn't know they were getting an award. We totally assumed if they saw us, it would absolutely ruin the surprise. Of course, Ryan spotted us. 
Charlie didn't see us. She was sitting down in front. She was the second one to get the Learned Leader award. The funny part was that as soon as she was on stage, she was in heaven! As each student got called to the stage (probably 20+ kids), Charlie thought they were applauding her! She would wave to the audience and smile another big smile! I swear, this girl was born to have all eyes on her! It was precious.
There's Charlie... proud as can be!
Ryan, on the other hand, was one of the last students to be called up for the award. I was able to get a shot of her shaking Vice Principal McDonald's hand.
Ryan and best buddy Abbie next to each other with the same award! The John Wooden Learned Leader award means that the recipient is a role model in class, is a leader with her classmates, and is an all around "go to" child for the teacher! Very cool that Ryan and Charlie are both leaders for their classes.
Ryan walked right by us on her way back to her seat.

Ryan walked right by us on her way back to her seat.(Notice Charlie, by the way, is still up on stage waving at all her "fans." Almost the first one on the stage and last one off the stage, means that Charlie had some significant time with her "fans!")
Congratulations Ry-Ry!!
