Gymnastics Wintershow case and holiday parade. 2011

Winter brings alot of activity to the Raymond family and to Gymnastics for sure. It starts out with a wonderful winter showcase that they put on each year. This year laurel and her team "Dynamites" did their routine to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. It was sooooooooooo cute. They wore reindeer antlers and a red nose(although they spent more time worrying about where their accessories were landing than really getting to show off their amazing skills. Never the less,it was very cute.  No sooner is that over,you run home,shower and go to bed so that you can be down at the Main street of Benicia to again,walk in a holiday parade... Zak and dad both have been wrestling colds so they stayed home and Laurel and i went to the parade. Its fun, the kids do some of their skills on the main street and show off their abilities. laurel seemed to be a little bit afraid of the cement this year,of course,i would be very afraid of the cement if it were me. She did great,the parade was not too long and we had a great time. I have attacehd pics of the girls in their white tanks and green shorts for their winter showcase and Laurel and I in our red tops and black pants heading out for the parade.
