We Have Spirit....How about you?

Every Friday at Alden's school they have what's called "Spirit Friday". All the children are encouraged to wear the school colors, by doing so each class is awarded participation points by how many wear "Red". Later the points can be redeemed for class parties. This week my friend Heather made the cutest bows and gave them to Alden. It completed her outfit perfectly! (Thank you, Heather!) Alden commented on how they made her look like a cheerleader. Speaking of cheerleaders The night before our neighbor who has a daughter on the high school squad and had filled us in on a fundraiser they were doing at our local McDonald's and mentioned if we didn't already have dinner plans would we consider dining there to help the squad earn some money. The Cheerleaders were in front of the restaurant doing their cheer routines (I suspect to bring in more customers) as we were leaving, on our way to the car they asked if the girls were interested in learning some of the cheers. Alden jumped right in on this opportunity.She's been doing them ever-since. Maybe she'll follow in her Grandmother's footsteps. Both her Grammy Steyaert and Grandma Jonnie were cheerleaders. Mariah was interested but didn't have the confidence Alden has to do it in front of everyone. Of course I hadn't thought to bring my camera along so I didn't get any pictures. :(
