Dusty is now a 1st grader! And to mark her going into the 1st grade our dear friend Elena made her a schultüte… What is a schultüte you ask? It is a “school cone”.
It is a tradition that on the first day of school for children entering first grade, children in countries like Germany and Austria are given a schultüte from their parents or loved one (in our case, a friend). They are usually made with a big cardboard cone, decorated and filled with school supplies, candy and other little gifts.
First grade is a big deal in Germany, because it means that children have finally entered into school. While kindergarten marks the start of school in the United States, Germans attend kindergarten for 3 years from ages 3-6.
This is a tradition that we will for sure continue on with Lola and Blue!
Dusty and her schultüte ..pretty girl!
All the kids in the 1st grade received schultüte’s from the school and since Dusty already had one, Lola commandeered the plain white one!
Dusty had a great first day.. and was so excited to see all her friends from last year! This year, she has 3 other kids from our ward in her class! I am excited for what she will be learning in the next 3 months!! 
here she is already in her seat… and ready for mom to get the dang camera outta her face!
