09.02.2008 The FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Oh what to wear, what to wear!!! Besides having all your school supplies, the coolest backpack, a new lunch box, the REAL dilemma of any 2nd grader is what to wear the first day of school. Danielle had really just too much to choose from this year, thanks to a whole lot of shopping over 2 weeks, and not to mention that awesome trip to California when mommy went for her Reunion and went shopping in Ventura with the Aunties and Grandma. Grandma really hooked her up this year. She got AMAZING dresses at Macy's and all the cutest gear from Gymboree, and more. She chose this cute Brown floral dress Grandma got her as the winner. She just LOVES headbands (the stretchy ones that go all the way around or the kind with the elastic that attaches the rubber ones and makes them one big circle) now that she found a style she likes that doesn't hurt her head.

 

Here she is-looking radiant for her 1st day of school. At least i got some good pics.

 

Little miss diva in her ensemble, we love, love, love you grandma!!!!

 

No outfit would be complete without the must-have "Hannah Montana Backpack". We actually spent over 30 minutes in the backpack aisle trying to find just the right one. Danielle's criteria;
*Must have at least 2 zip pockets
*Comfy straps
*Match with most of my clothes
*Have a water bottle holder
She really wanted the littlest pet shop one but it did not meet crteria #3 and #4. LOL

 

At school, lined up to go to class. I caught a pic of Danielle and her friend Talon. She has known him the longest of all her school friends. They started out in preschool together and have been with each other since age 2. (Lucky Danielle started a year early in Kindergarten otherwise Talon would be a year ahead). He really grew this summer. Danielle just loves to chase Talon. Poor thing, she is fast enough to catch him!
