Thanksgiving Break

What a busy but fun Thanksgiving break! The girl's had their Thanksgiving Feasts at school. . . Leah was invited to Neela and Nicole's house (friends from school) for lunch and Christmas Crafts. Leah was also invited to the movies with Ginger (a friend on her gymnastics team).

The highlight of the holiday was the visit from the Grandparents! The first night they arrived the girl's were so excited and jumped at the chance to get hugs and snugs from their grandparents!

Melanie and I prepared the Thanksgiving meal which surprisingly wasn't as big a task as I thought! And the meal turned out great! We had a lot of fun preparing the meal!

When relatives are in town Neal and I always jump at the chance to go on a date!! As you can tell from this picture, minus Bob's finger covering part of the photo, Neal and I are so excited to go out. We went to dinner and a movie, we watched New Moon.

We started this day at Denny's . . .

We went to the Inner Harbor...it was such a cold and windy day . . . But it was beautiful!!

We also visited Fort McHenry. . .

The girls had so much fun spending time with their grandparents!!

WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!

A Day with Daddy

I had a gymnastics meet this weekend (we won 1st place team, yea!)... And Neal had to go into work to see how one of his projects were going...the girl's had so much fun spending the morning with their dad!!

Leah's Gymnastics Meet

Today was Leahs first USAG Gymnastics meet! This past week Leah and I made posters for the team and good luck horse shoes... Doing hair before the meet...

Giving a pep talk to the level 2's and level 4's (and passing out the good luck horse shoes we made)

Here I am stressing out since it's Leah's first meet and also the first meet for the Level 2's and 4's!!

The girl's are getting nervous...

Leah still all smiles after the meet! (the meet was 3 1/2 hours long)

The team went for pizza afterwards...Go Win Win!!

First Day of Ballet

This past Saturday was Leah's first day of Ballet. She was so excited to start... We found a place in Columbia called Ballet Royal.

Leah was very excited to find out a friend from school was in her class!

We look forward to her recital in December (The Nutcracker) and the recital in the spring. Leah you rock!! We love you!!

National Gymnastics Day

Today Win Win Gymnastics celebrated our 1 year anniversary and National Gymnastics Day. The gym was open to the public to see our facility. Our USAG Competitive team and Mason Dixon team did some demonstrations on the Floor Exercise and Beam. This was Leah's first event on the team, she was very excited!

At the end of the demonstration, the owner Chan Wang was presented with a cake from the parent organization.
