Kylee's Christmas performance

Kylee performed with the team today in Imperial at their Christmas street fair. They had a light parade last night that they all marched in. I would have taken pictures, but it was too dark! lol Kylee was thrilled to do this today. They performed as a group at first and then split up in to divisions. Kylee is a level 4 (beginning competing). She did the routine that she will compete with starting in August of next year. This is the first video. The next video is of the twins and their friend Camille. They did this and other various dance moves throughout the whole performance. Pretty funny. The third video is of Kylee doing some tumbling moves and the last video is of the whole group doing their dance. She loves it so much and it has been fun to watch her improve and grow.

COLD!!!!

I am in Salt Lake. I come up each year (starting last year) for our annual girls shopping day (started before I was even old enough to go). Now, need I remind you that I live where it is warm year round.....well, warm in the winter and kill yourself hot in the summer....and I don't really own warm clothing. In fact, I only have one pair of long pants and these were purchased a few days before I flew in to Salt Lake. I flew in on Friday and was on a putty little plane that required me to walk out on the the pavement and continue walking in the FREEZING COLD for a bit before I entered the relative warmth of the airport. I was wearing flip flops and capri jeans. I did have on a sweatshirt (that I bought in the San Diego airport), but it did not help out at all! I was freezing! It was 20 degrees! The temps have not gotten any better. As I type it is 17 degrees outside (and it is daytime!)!!!! That is not a natural temperature! I am cold! Now, I have been having a wonderful time. We had a great day shopping yesterday, slid off the side of the road, froze, saw snow, shivered under blankets, sat in front of space heaters....you know, a typical winter Utah visit. lol I now understand the snowbirds that go south for the winter. I am not sure which is worse, Utah winter or El Centro summer. It is a toss-up.
