Happy Holidays to everyone!! Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving this week--we had a wonderful time with our friends--and this year they hosted, so I didn't have to cook! We are so grateful to be blessed with such great friends to spend Thanksgiving with every year!
The gym was closed several days this week--and Kaylie was happy about that. She seems to be having a little bit of burn out---not surprising giving the number of hours she spends there each week, and how many times we have to pass on get togethers with friends because of her gym schedule. This month I've decided to let her pass on any days of her choosing, in addition to all of the days the gym will be closed for the Christmas and New Years holidays.
She's still working at getting her back handspring--so close, but doesn't have it yet! We've had to put off her private lesson--the economy has had a negative effect on my fabric sales, so hopefully after the first of the year we'll get that back on our schedule. She should be all rested by then, and ready to go!

Level 5 California State Finals
Well, we didn't get to go watch Kaylie's level 5 team mates compete in the state finals--but at least the her team mates made it there! The roads in and out of our community, as well as the roads from the communities south of Simi Valley (where the finals were held) were all closed due to the horrible fires raging throughout the greater Los Angeles area, so many girls were unable to compete, after training all year to earn a chance at the state finals.
I was glad to hear that the decision was made to allow any girl to compete who actually arrived, even if she was late. Normally you are not allowed to compete at all, if you miss your scheduled time. I wish they could take it a step further, and allow any level 5 girls who couldn't get thru to compete in Bakersfield during the level 4 state finals---don't expect that they will, but I think it would be the right thing to do.
My heart goes out to all of the families who have lost their homes, and had their lives disrupted by this series of fires, and I pray that the weather will cool off soon to help the firefighters in their efforts to put it out.
