Cheer Banquet Video........

Last week was the final event for Sarah as a cheerleader..... the Cheer Banquet. Very bittersweet! Sarah got several awards including best dancer, best at jumps and Sarah gets the honor of going with the coach to the end of year sports banquet. The coach always gets to come and bring two cheerleaders with her so it is a real honor.

I was the lucky parent who got the honor of making the cheer video this year.

For your viewing pleasure....

Florida Trip...

Cheergirl's trip to Florida is over. Thank Goodness! She had an awesome time. This is the first time she has ever flown and thankfully all went pretty well. She did get a bit sick on the plane on the last leg of the trip. She had a snack of ice cream on her last layover in Atlanta and it didn't really sit well on her stomach once she was back in the air. Thankfully it passed and she didn't hurl.

The weather was nice while they were in Florida so the taping for the Christmas day parade went smoothly. I can't wait to see it on television. The CGUHS spiritline must have impressed the choreographers because they were positioned in the first few rows of the parade. Taping went so smoothly that they were left with quite a bit of free time to visit the Disney Parks.

I am so happy for Sarah that she got this experience, but honestly so glad that it is over. All the fundraising we did was absolutely exhausting.

Cold Stone Creamery Fundraiser..........

Last night was the Cold Stone fundraiser from 6:00-7:00. I honestly didn't hold out high hopes for the fundraiser. The weather was a bit rainy and you have to admit they are kind of expensive. Turns out they had a steady line of people coming through buying ice cream. Cheergirl had a blast and took two shifts preparing ice cream and says that she would love working there. The singing part has me concerned though. They sing when there is a tip dropped in the tip bucket and I am pretty sure Cheergirl would be fired the first week. Love ya Cheergirl!

Cheer Baskets.......

About a month ago the cheer squad had a fundraiser dinner with gift baskets that were bid upon. Each cheerleader brought at least one basket. I made a little cheergirl basket. It went over well enough that the coach asked me to make a few for the Kiddie Kamp fundraisers they are having this week and next.
