Anna Kate had an awesome cheer season! Her team, the Tigers, won 1st place in the cheer division and 1st place with their dance. They practiced two days a week since August, and all of their hard work paid off!

Noelle and Rose were so proud of their sister. I just love watching this little sisterhood blossom! They are so lucky to have each other!

Here are a few pictures from their cheer Mike took from the stands.

Anna Kate has never taken tumbling or gymnastics, but she got her cart wheel down. Something crazy we realized, she turns her cart wheels with her left foot! I’ve been helping her with her back bend kick-over this season, and I used to make her kick over with her right foot. She was having so much trouble, but when I realized she tumbles with her left foot, I started helping her kick over with her left foot first, and she’s got it. She’s tirelessly practicing her roundoff and is determined she will learn a back hand spring sooner than later. Baby girl is 6, but she’s determined to get this tumbling thing down. She loves it, so we practice every day.

 

Little sisters have so much fun!

Here’s the moment the girls found out they won. I love Anna Kate’s face!!!

So very proud, just the way it should be!

What an adorable squad!

 

Miss Holly came to cheer Anna Kate on, and she is just the sweetest friend! Thank you, Holly!
