Banquet 2012

I promise.

This is the last cheer post..... for this season!

We had the girls cheer banquet on last Sunday night

at the Diamond Club at the ballpark.

super fun!

The girls get to get all dressed up...

and it's a big to do!

There are pictures and all kinds of awards...

This year was super fun!

It was Halle Caroline's 2nd year

and Ellison's 1st year in cheer.

It was fun.

It was hard.

trying, frustrating, successful, amazing...

all rolled into one.

We started out the year...

with Halle Caroline on level 2

and Ellison on level 3.

which means...

little sister was on a higher level than big sister.

ouch.

and ellison was on the same team with big sister's VBFF!

OUCH!

The owners of the gym that they go to, are PRECIOUS.

They tell the girls and the parents how much they pray over the decisions of the teams

many times before they are set.

So, although when the teams came out last May...

there were tears and frustration and questions...

We knew that God had a plan.

That each girl was on that team for a reason.

So while Ellison's team won

"THE (NCA) national championship"...

Halle Caroline's team won 2 other national championships (ACA and Athletic!)

both teams were amazing!

In addition...

In January, Halle Caroline was asked to cross compete on another team,

to help them out when that team lost a member.

This made her double her practice time at the gym for a good 3ish months.

but it is a huge honor (no pun intended... her 2nd team was named HONOR) to be asked to do this.

We were extremely extremely proud of the job she did on both teams.

When it came down to it...

and the year is over...

the big picture is shown...

Halle Caroline and her VBFF, Chandler

both won the 

"Go XTREME AWARD"

THE C5P AWARD

This award is for character, commitment, class, Christ-like, something else that starts with a C

It is voted on my their teammates

and quite an honor to receive

Both Halle Caroline and Chandler
also got
"Outstanding Leader"
on each of their teams
as decided by the coaches

Ellison got "outstanding flyer"!

It was such a fun and memorable night!
The girls had a blast getting all gussied up
and getting to see each other out of shorts/tshirt/ponytail!

 Such a fun night!
We are so very thankful for Spirit Xtreme!
