Gymnastics 2010

Emily has been in gymnastics since May.
It's a great time for us to bond and she loves the class! We sing songs and do circuit routines. She listens wonderfully to teacher Marilynn, and at the end the kids receive stamps on their feet and hands. We received her first certificate!
Her favorite activities (aside from the singing part) are somersaults, back rolls and running/jumping on the big trampoline.

Here are some recent photos of class:

Who is that monkey behind Delaney?

This is the first time I can say Emily REALLY looks like me. I can remember many a Christi photo with that cheezy little mug on it. :)

The Perfect Tree

This year was our first U-cut experience as a family. With Matt's busy work schedule, getting away for a family activity isn't exactly easy.

You can bet your bippy you're never gonna find me out there solo with a toddler, saw and burlap. That spells trouble!

This year I vowed to commit to the outing, and I'm so glad I did.

For years we've been looking for the perfect tree. Sure, we found some decent 8ft. trees at our local Home Depot the past few years, but we weren't ever in awe. We wanted something uber tall. And we needed a tree without a whole lot of girth because of our tight corner space.

BEHOLD! (Insert Hallelujah music here)

This tree is one big Mamma Jamma and it makes our Christmas decor complete!

Bring on Santa Claus!
