Thanksgiving came and went...

It's been nice having family visit...the girls enjoyed spending time with their grandparents and Elvis!
We did some Christmas shopping and found a tree. It's so much fun to take down the Thanksgiving decorations and put up Christmas decorations. Christmas is such a magical holiday!


The girls have been on good behavior, Leah tells us it's because she wants Santa to bring her gifts this year. *We visited santa this week and they had a long conversation,lol!


Even Riley is tired from all the fun this weekend!

Ocean City

This weekend was Leah's gymnastics competition in Ocean City. My mom flew in to watch Leah, she was so excited!! Leah has done such a great job this season! I'm so impressed how focased and determined she is at such a young age! She has her last meet of the season Dec. 4th then she starts training Level 4, which means practices increase, to 3 days, 6 hours a week...
She makes the best faces when she is focasing!











Leah placed 2nd on Vault, Beam, and Bars. She placed 1st on Floor and Placed 2nd All-Around (she was only .5 away from the 1st place position) Her team took 1st place, go Win Win!





Afterwards the team enjoyed pizza on the boardwalk...



The girls loved the beach, it was beautiful!!

Turkey Tumble Meet

Leah had another practice meet this weekend...we always love going as a family to support Leah!! I'm so grateful for Neal who always entertains Katie, while I'm a nervous wreck and videotape! Lol! (Katie was sad because she wanted her laffy taffy and we wanted to take a picture). The meet was in Fredrick, it was a beautiful drive out in the country...

So, this was Leah's last practice meet. During the practice meets she competes with local gyms. We will be going to a meet in Ocean city this weekend and she will be competing with a lot more gyms, they also only give out metals for the top 6 places and trophies for the top 3 places...she's been in the top three at the last two meets. She's been working so hard, so I hope she does great this weekend! My mom is flying in for the Ocean City meet we're staying Friday and Saturday night, it'll be a lot of fun!
Her team is doing awesome so far this season...good luck girls!!!
