My Little Twirler

Americettes is something Ive been looking forward to getting Gracie into since she was born. When she turned 4 I thought ok NOW she is ready to try this and like I thought she loved it!!
 
Americettes has been an awesome experience for us:) At first I thought it was going to take up most of the weekends in the summer but it didn't. She had practice every Wednesday night for a half hour. At first i thought ...how is this enough time to learn routines?...but to my surprise Gracie learned her whole routine. Actually she has 3 routines that she knows. Holly, the director is such a caring..awesome person who really loves to do this. She has 6 childern of her own so to invest so much time and effort into this is amazing..can we say "SuperMom!"
 
A couple weeks ago was the Talent Show/Pictures/Awards Banquet which pretty much lasted all day and by 8:30pm my little turkey was pooped (see picture with her awards..lol) But it was an awesome day full of excitement for the girls. I was very proud to see Gracie walk on stage to get her awards, she was so proud of herself..and so was I :)
 
Here are my favorite pics from this baton season...Enjoy!
