We had a lot of fun watching Brittany put on a gymnastics show with all her other pre-teamers!! She did awesome! They did their floor routine to "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer". Brittany has only been doing gymnastics for a little over a year now and will be trying out for the team in Spring. She works really hard..and it has paid off! She has a great teacher who help her and gives her tips on how she can improve herself. Watching her do flips is a bit scary at times...especially when she does her back tucks! Her dad loves to go and watch her practice! Way to go Brittany!! Keep it up!!
Kirsten can't wait to get back into gymnastics. We had to pull her out earlier this year and do not know when she can start up again. She sure loves it. Fun that your girls are able to participate.
