This past September the girls hosted a cheer party for a few of their friends. It was a lot of fun! I decided to let them do it because I know that once the baby comes they won't be having any parties for a while. A good friend connected me with 2 cheerleaders from a local high school. They came and taught the girls a few basic cheers and then everyone performed for the moms and dads at pick up time! It was easy for me because the cheerleaders pretty much took care of everything.
We started with a craft. Nothing like glitter glue to help a girl get her sparkle on! We decorated mega phones and made pom pom pony tail holders. Then the girls got "cheer" hair. (That's a high pony tail for you non cheering types!)
We also got gold sparkles sprayed into our hair!
Next the girls learned their introductions for the performance.
Ella
McKenna
Selma
Lucy
Sophie
McKenna, again (maybe she needed more practice!)
Hmm, Sophie again.
Next the girls practiced a few cheers.
A cheering pow wow?
Not sure why, but I love this little pic of my sweet Ella. She was trying so hard.
They were very good listeners. I guess they really wanted to be little cheerleaders.
I love Claire's expression here.
All in all it was really fun. Not to mention, Meghan and Kayla took care of everything. I just had to walk around with the camera.

Very clever! All of the girls will always remember this. And Yea! to the cheerleaders for helping out.
It almost (i say, almost) makes me want a do-over on the mommy thing.
