The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. ~Burton Hillis

Wow It was A great Holiday Season!!! So much has happened in the past few weeks and I have a lot to be thankful for! : )

Lets Start with This months Competition! The kids did great!!!! I am very eager to get back in the gym on Monday and start re-working those routines to make them bigger and better!!!

Rush: 3rd Place


Energy: 1ST Place


Volt: 3rd Place


Rage:6th Place


Velocity:1st Place


Adrenaline: 3rd Place



The routines all have some tiny flaws that need to be fixed before the next comp on Jan 15-16 but I have no doubt our kids will be able to pull it together!!!


hmmmm What next?? Oh School Is over and I am on vacation! It could not have come at a better time! I was so READY for break! However I would love if my grades would get posted and I am totally reading for diving season so start!! : )

We had our family Christmas party on the 8th! Santa came of corse! Oh and he even brought a gift for Ishy. My family is quite huge and It is always a blast we we all get together! I wish we could do it more often!

And then that night WE WENT TO A CLUB!! It was a blasty blast and definitly an adventure full of smoosh smooshiness! We danced and boogies and made fun of the people smooshed more than us! Toni got us in VIP VIP to this club called Ruby Sky in San Francisco. It was totally like an episode of this hills! we walked up to to the door and just got let in becasue obviously these people knew who we were! lol But really I totally felt like I was on the hills lol It was great! I totally knew this night was going to be an adventure when I accidently left my purse in Toni's car...which was right in front of us but for some reason I felt the need for my purse and when we were stopped on the freeway at the toll both I go Ish go get my purse form toni's car... and This boy totally gets out ON THE FREEWAY and goes and runs and gets my purse!!! lol Oh this things best friends do for each other!!! So then we get there and u know walk in and get our smoosh on!










And through the whole night we only managed to spill one drink! And it went all over toni and I! : ( and then there was this other girl who totally just decided to drop her drink on my foot. What a DA! lol and she totally looked at Ish and I like it was our fault and we didnt even touch her! She just must have been blinded by our hotness! lol

It defintily took us all a day or two to pull ourselved back together after our night our But on monday we had our F.R.I.E.N.D.S christmas party! I will have to say I thorughly enjoy my group of friends! It was nice to just get together and enjoy each others company! Toni hosted the party at her house and we all brough a dish to share!!! It was DELICIOUS!!!brought HOMEMADE banana pudding! and Salad Toni made yummy pasta and had beautiful place settings! Yorgos and Christos brought a greek dish, Idk what it was called or how to spell it but it was delicious!! Ish brough some yummy chicken with some yummy sauce and Andre brought appy's from chilie's (of course) lol

During the week when Ish's Niece got here we went Ice Skating!! The rink was decorated very magically! There was tree's and now on the rink! I will say that everytime Ish and I go ice skating our spins get better and better! We are definitly going to be pro's soon!

I believe this brings us to Christmas Eve! Of Course I spent my christmas eve next door with Jessica and Family! I have spent xmas eve there for 23 years! It was lovely! I met lots of new faces and of course we ended the night with our normal stroll down candy cane lane! Where Suddenly Molly(Tommyee and Johns puppy) got out of her collar and RAN away! so the boys went of chasing her and we had to end our stroll early!! : ( It was very eventful! I wonder what will happen during our stroll next year! LAST YEAR WE SAW SANTA! HE FLEW OVER CANDY CANE LANE IN A HELICOPTER! ISNT THAT COOL?

Is it just me or Is it just extremely hard to sleep on Christmas eve? I mean no matter how old I get I am still always excited to open presents in the morning! Christmas is just one of the best holidays ever! We had a very low key christmas! Everyone just came over we opened presents and ate a fantastic dinner! I recieved my PURPLE betseyville purse! Some clohtes, Giftcards, a personalized calender, headbands, picture frames, a journal, some scarves, ooo and some pink ear muffs! and some candy!!!

Well that is all for now! This Holiday season was definitly a success! : )

Until later,

Ashley
