Gymnastics Winter Festival

Earlier this month the girls had a Winter Festival at gymnastics where each group got to perform some of the skills they have learned recently. Of course Etta got her cast a week or so beforehand so she was disappointed that she wasn't going to get to perform the routine her class has been practicing. Since we had already paid, her coach said she could still come out with the girls all dressed up and get a trophy, but that was it. We weren't expecting it but her coach ended up walking her out to the middle of the floor, did splits and waved to everyone. We weren't camera ready! Needless to say, Etta was happy for the 15 seconds of eyes on her.

Chloe's class was so big it was split into two groups. The first group performed in front of the audience while Chloe, her BFF Riley , and the rest of the second group did some sit jumps on the tramp where we couldn't see. Then that was it. Needless to say I went to talk to the owner to set things right and she brought them out to perform so we could actually get some pictures. Of course we didn't get great pictures but it made the girls happy to see mom and dad smile and wave for them.

Fun Flipper Jrs.
At the end, everyone got a trophy and a chance to see Santa. It wasn't the best Santa, but the girls were happy none the less.
Happy Chloe.

Very happy Etta.

Chloe wasn't in the mood for pictures so we got Etta, Etta's BFF Mackenzie, and Riley.

The girls had lots of fun; performing, receiving a trophy, and seeing Santa just made their day. Etta's cast should be coming off Wednesday and she can't wait to hear if she can go back to gymnastics and ballet. I'll keep you posted.
