Our Little Gymnast

Today was Amy's performace day in gymnastics. She has been going to The Little Gym for almost a year and really loves it!

Here she is waiting for her turn on the beam.
She has really improved on the balance beam. It is so scary for kids so small to be up so high. She just learned to do a cartwheel off for her dismount.

In the background you can hear the other teacher cheering on the other half of the class. She is very dramatic but the kids love it.




The uneven bars are still her favorite. She does such a great job..but of course I am the "proud mom".

She gets so excited when they give out medals.

This is her with her whole class. Her teachers are so great and Amy really loves them. They teach the kids so much and make it fun for them.

Hole in her mouth

Yes...Amy finally lost her first tooth. It seems like this tooth has been loose forever and Amy has been so excited to have the tooth fairy come. Of course I had to get a cheesy picture of the hole in her mouth.

It is sort of hard to see but she wanted me to get a picture of her holding it.

Christmas

This year we spent Christmas Eve over at my sisters house. We played games and told a Christmas story. We had a great time with each other but I forgot my camera. Christmas morning after opening presents, we went to a friends house for breakfast and then out to my parents house for dinner. We did a lot of running around that day but it was fun. Here are a few pictures.

Amy was so excited for Christmas this year. Five is such a fun age! Here is Amy getting Santa's cookies and milk ready for him.
Christmas morning getting her stocking down. She was so excited to see a new Webkinz at the top of it, she almost forgot the to get the whole stocking down.

Santa brought her a barbie house with a few new barbie's and Little Pet Shops.

New winter coat. She really needed one and she was so happy that she had to put it on right away.

Uncle Matt and Aunt Megan sent her a whole set of princesses. She loves them! Perfect to go with her barbie house.

Here is my dad and my nephew Ryan. The kids love to play with the train they have going around the tree. Something was wrong with it and the kids couldn't leave Papa alone while he tried to fix it. Papa didn't care though. He loves to have the grandkids all over him.

Amy's turn to kill Papa's back.

Amy was a lucky girl on Christmas. We all had so much fun.
