Eliana has been going to Awana's every week for the past two years. It's sort of a church version of Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts. She enjoys it very much because you get to wear a vest and earn badges on the vest if you finish your homework or memorize Bible verses.
At the end of each school year, there is a little ceremony that they do. Parents are invited so we got to go and watch. All the kids sat off to the side. Here is Eliana's class all wearing blue vests. They are called the "Cubbies".
Here are the parents waiting expectantly for the ceremony to start.
The Cubbies are making their way onto the stage.
Here is Eliana holding hands with one of her friends. We're not sure why. Another one of Eliana's friend is waving to her mommy in the audience.
Eliana is graduating from being a Cubbie and next year will move up to the next level called "Sparks". Because of this, she's earned a big blue ribbon to attach to her vest. Her teacher is in the background.
Here are the two girls with their friends. Every once in a while, Cubbie Bear makes a special appearance and of course they want to take a picture with him.
While Eliana is a little sad to be graduating from Cubbies, but looking forward to being a Spark, Karina is super duper excited that she gets to go to Awana next year! She will be a Cubbie in the fall, and is already talking about getting her own blue vest and being part of the crowd. She is growing up!
