Crown of the Carolinas

Ada had a big day today!! She competed in her very first gymnastics competition and absolutely loved every single minute of it! She did not want it to end! :) Her whole team did an amazing job and had wonderful results. It was a great first experience for her. They all medal in this competition but still go through an awards ceremony to announce everyone, which she could have done all day. She loves the crowd and certainly didn't get that from her mama. ;) I really think I was probably more nervous than she was, but seeing how much fun she was having would make you smile. It was contagious. It was fun! :)
She came home with 2 fourth place finishes, a third, a second, and third all around in her group. She made us all very proud and had a blast doing it.

The competition hair was a treat! all together took at least 2.5 hours, but she loved those bouncy "baby curls" as she called them.

All rolled up! :)

We had the rare privilege to spend the evening, night and most of today with Ada. Just her and us. She was so precious and so appreciative. And didn't mind the undivided attention at all.

She got to spend her first night in a hotel, which was a treat. She was all snugged in a queen size bed and way too excited to sleep. She had an hourly countdown going on. She could not wait to put on that leotard and glitter in her hair!

When morning finally did come, she hopped up and we took out the rollers, sprayed glitter, put on the leo and headed out! And bonus, this competition was at one of her aunt's Alma Mater, so she attended with us! That was a treat. :)
