Winter Olympics

This morning was the Winter Olympics at Gracee's gym. When we woke up I curled Gracee's hair and we got all ready to go.
We got to the Gym and they put the kids in groups and assigned them to a couch. Gracee went with coach Jen's group and was had a HUGE smile on her face the entire time!
All the parents were allowed to go around and watch their children on the different events. My mom, Ruffin, Emme and I were all there to cheer her on!
The first event her group did was the floor exercises, Gracee was so excited she looked over and waved after completing each thing!
When they went from one station to the next they traveled by train.

When the new building opened they put in this fun foam pit and it is one of Gracee's favorite things. This picture makes me laugh, coach Jen told them to all jump in on the count of 3, Gracee could not wait to get in and jumped on 1.
Gracee doing a sommersalt on the balance beam.
Gracee stayed with her group the whole time except when she needed a quick hug from her dad!
When her group was waiting for their turn to do the bars they sat and stretched.
Gracee was so sweet to Emme who was feeling left out and wanted to go play with her big sister. When Emme crawled over to by the group of girls Gracee announced "everybody this my Emme."
I am truly amazed at Gracee's strength!And the winner is... (Well everybody, but Gracee didn't notice, she was just excited about her medal!
TaDA!!!

I love my little Gracee to the moon and back a BILLION MILLION times! She is so much fun to have in our family, her smile warms my heart!
When we were all finished Gracee felt like a star, she kept asking me to take her picture and she would do all sorts poses... SO SILLY!

Liz,
It has been YEARS since we last saw you and your family. Gracee was so small!! She is growing up so fast and is just beautiful! (I found your blog through Mary & Joe's) Hope everything is going well!
