.football banquet.

Tonight was the banquet celebrating our awesome 2011 Football team – the reigning state champs – and their super duper awesome cheerleaders!

Since probably August, the girls (one in particular AhemMADIAhem) not so subtly suggested that we talk about each cheerleader individually instead of just commenting on them as a squad. I am not great at talking of the top of my head, so I hope what we said lived up to their expectations!

Kayla, Vanessa, Selena, Sommer, Carly, Madison, and Allyson

Melissa and I took turns talking about each one of them, including the talents and strengths they brought to the squad.

 

    

 

         

Melissa and I had fun finding a gift for these special girls! We got them personalized water bottles and a photo collage of some of the best photos from the season.

I forgot to take a picture of the cute water bottles and photo collage, so Kayla helped me out! :)

 

This is part of the cute gift the girls gave to Melissa and I - a paperweight! I love it on my desk!Makes me smile!

It was so fun to be together as a team again. I get to see most of the girls everyday, but it’s not the same as being all together. I will really miss this squad as a whole. They were the best!

  

This is the all-important banner that will hang in the gym for all of eternity – next to the 2002 and 2009 banners! :)

I spoke about how we love cheering for the football team – and especially such a successful team! It didn’t matter if it was 95 degrees in Chelan or 10 degrees and snowing in Wenatchee – it was fun to follow this team all the way to the Dome! Makes me excited for next year already!

Kayla and her awesome Mom Heather.
We had a special shout out to the parents (especially moms) for always bringing the forgotten uniform item and making Thursday treats – and being the cheerleaders’ biggest cheerleaders. We love the parents!!
