watch out mary lou

 IMG_2570IMG_2622

Paige has been dying to become a gymnast.   It was one of her main Christmas wishes.   She wasn't gifted lessons for Christmas, but we managed to come up with some anyway.  And when I say managed, I mean that every single second I wasn't looking for lessons, she was asking me if I'd found any yet.  She wasn't letting it go.  Her cousin, Amber, is able to join in on the fun.

 

They spent the hour splitting, hand-standing, and cart-wheeling with permanent grins plastered to their faces.  It was their first class, so there is lots of room for improvement, but they definitely earn a perfect 10 for enthusiasm.
