We ended 2009 with a bang! Spent the last 2 days with lots of activities. M had her first gymnastics meet on Dec 30. We ended spending almost 5 hours at the gym that day. M did a great job for her first meet. I was surprised at how far she has come because a couple of weeks ago I was worried that she wasn't ready to compete due to her lack of a few skills. Her best event was the beam. She nailed her cartwheel and also stayed on the beam for the whole routine. Poor E just spent the afternoon playing with her Ninento DS. She will have to get use to be the sibling that tags along to all of these events for now.
New Years Eve was spent downtown for M's Chinese dance class performance. Her school performed for the First Night Activities at the August Wilson Center. Rehearsals started at 1:15 with the show at 6:00. This made for a very long day for me (M had fun). E went with her dad to the Phipps Conservatory for a while so that she too didn't have to hang out for another 5 hours. All the girls in M's class did a great job on their dance "Happy Little Tibetan Girls". After her show we walked around the cultural district to enjoy some of the other First Night activities. We didn't stay until Midnight because the girls were winding down. I was actually asleep by midnight myself.
