a meet and a parade

We headed to Virginia Beach after school on Friday for the annual Gymstrada gymnastics meet. 


Emmy and her teammates are a close group. 


Emmy had a great meet and brought home some hardware.  She placed 3rd on bars and beam, 4th on floor and 2nd all around.  She got level 7 season highs on bars, beam, floor and all around. 


Her team came in 1st place. 


Doing what she loves and loving what she does!


Today was the annual Mechanicsville Christmas Parade.  When it comes down your street you invite everyone you know and embrace the crazy and enjoy the people watching!


My friend Kathryn and I knew we had matching sweatshirts but had no idea the girls did too!




Our neighbors are a festive bunch. 


Santa wraps up the parade on the fire truck.  He'll be back again soon!  Another favorite tradition is when Santa rides the fire truck around the neighborhoods in the evening. 


The parade seemed late to me this year.  I usually say it's a fun way to kick off the season, but I honestly feel like it's almost over.
