State Cheer competition!!

I flew to IL to watch my niece compete in the State Cheer Competition!

 

 Almost our whole family turned out to cheer Claire on!!

 It was fun & exciting to watch!  But also very nerve wracking!!!  (these next two pictures are taken by the NV cheerleading team)

 2 nieces!

 My sister in laws friend was watching the competition on TV and got this great photo!

 Waiting for the results...

 They got 3rd in state!!!  Everyone was SO excited - especially since they were 9th going into the last day!  (they do wipe the scores out, so everyone starts even)

 Me & Claire!
