January Gymnastics Competition

We held a gymnastics competition in which Daddy and Mama were the judges and us children were the contestants.  We had three classes: vault, beam, and floor.

Our vault was made of a trampoline, a small table and the gymnastics mat that are grandparents gave us several years ago.

 Erilynn did a very nice vault which got extremely high scores from the judges.

 Alena did a handstand off the vault.

 And this is Hannah.  If you click on the picture too make it larger you'll notice that in the background, Erilynn had her hands over her face.  Everyone was slightly worried about Hannah's vault, because; well, she usually has a crash landing.  This vault, however was fairly nice.

 Erilynn did a beautiful beam routine which earned high scores from the judges (again).

 Hannah also did a nice beam routine.

 Christian did a very cute floor routine :)

 William begins his floor routine.

Erilynn did a good floor routine which earned high scores from the judges, (Yes, everything Erilynn did received high scores)

And the winner of the gymnastics competition was:

Erilynn in 1st place! (of course:)

We love gymnastics!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

We had a wonderful Christmas and a fun New Years celebration with friends from church!

Here are some pictures and quotes to prove it!!!

 Christian: "My favorite part of New Year's was staying up 'till Midnight!"

 William: "I liked celebrating Jesus' birth!  We made a birthday cake for Him!"

 Erilynn: "I liked visiting with Papaw and Grandma Faye!"

 Alena: "I liked having my friend, Chenie over for New Years!"

 Hannah :"I enjoyed eating all the good food and desserts!"

 Hannah also directed a Christmas Play at our church for Kindergarten - 5th grade.  In the play, Erilynn was Lily, a girl who learns what Christmas is really about, William played Joseph, and Christian was a Toy Soldier!  It went very well!  (Hint: click on picture to enlarge)

We hope everyone else had a great Christmas, too!!!
