Katie Baldwin Invitational (Kiersen - Level 6) . . .

 Kiersen attended her first Level 6 gymnastics meet in early January.  Unfortunately, due to covid, this was the only meet I got to attend so far this year.  She placed 3rd on Beam (9.350), 7th on Floor (9.150), 8th on Bars (8.000), 11th on Vault (8.350), and 8th All Around (34.850) in the 7-10 age group.  Their team also got first place.  

A Letter to Klide & Santa . . .

A few weeks ago Kiersen wrote a special letter to her elf, Klide telling him our tree was set up and asking him to come early.  I love the part where she says 'You are the best elf ever.  You make everything magical'.  Last night she set out her letting for Santa, and guess who came to get it....that's right - Klide!  She is so happy!

 

Beam Dismount (Video) . . .

Kiersen and Kenny were working on her Level 6 beam dismount today. 

Fashion Designer . . .

 

One night last week Kiersen asked me if she could cut her nylons she wore with her Christmas dress.  At first I was hesitant, but I let her, and this is what she made - a little white shirt.  Sometimes I cannot believe how creative she is!  

Kiersen's Birthday (Grandma & Paw Paw's House) . . .

Last weekend we celebrated Kiersen's birthday at Grandma & Paw Paw's House.  Her cake had an edible image on it of her and her teammates on the podium at her last competition.
