A Royal Wedding

There was quite a bit of hype recently about a wedding that took place in England, but I don't believe there was as much publicity for a Royal Wedding we attended in Rm. 107. An invitation was sent to the Queen Mum, but I believe she was too worn out from the festivities the prior weekend and kindly sent her regrets. Jonathan was a participant in the nuptials between Miss Q and Mr. U.

The cake was beautifully decorated with "quackers".

Jonathan's teacher, Mrs. Pietras, and aide, Mrs. Noland, went to alot of work to make this such a fun and memorable event for the children. The girls all had veils while the boys had top hats and bow ties. They were able to go to visit other rooms and share various "qu" words. As the children entered, they dropped "quarter" petals.

Mr. Craig, the principal, officiated the union of these two letters. At the end of the humorous ceremony, he pronounced them "Qu". So very clever!! I was able to video tape it and need to figure out how to post it to the blog.

Instead of the age old tradtion of rice, the children all blew bubbles after the ceremony was over. All of the children were so well behaved and had such a good time.

A handsome little fella!

We got to get a family picture with the lovely couple. This event was originally supposed to be a Mother's Day program. At the end, the teachers passed out cookbooks that the children had made. It was fun to see what their favorite recipies were and how each of their mom's made them. Jonathan chose Macaroni and Cheese. Here is his recipe:
