Gold Medalist

Emily participated in her first ice-skating competition this weekend and she has been looking forward to it for a l-o-n-g time! 

Santa brought her this pink dress just for the occassion!

Pink must be her color...because she came in first place in her event!

{it's true that she only competed against one other girl in her event...but first place is still first place!  And we couldn't be more proud of her!}

{Waiting to hear how she placed...}

...and First Place goes to...

Awesome job Emily...you look good in gold!

Such a fun experience for our little performer! 
She is excited to participate in the next competition...and I'm so excited to cheer her on...

{...along with this little cheerleader!}

{She is sleeping with her medal at her side tonight!  I love it!  It makes me so happy to see her enjoy something so much, try hard and succeed!  We are so full of joy watching you perform and are so proud!  Keep dreaming for the gold!}
