cheers & sun flare

Mia had her debut cheerleading performance last week at her school’s Fall Festival.
Being that I was always more of a sporty girl, it was interesting when she told me she wanted to do Spirit Squad this year. 

I am so glad she decided to, as she has had so much fun with her friends. She’s also learned some super fun cheers that I may or may not like to cheer right along with her.
How cute are the Pom Poms by the way?
I love me some SPIRIT!!!

After Mia’s performance on the cafeteria stage, Sophie ran up to her and gave her a big congratulatory hug.

I thought it would be fun to snap a few pictures of the girls outside as the sun was setting.
I adore sun drenched blonde pigtails, don’t you?

Playground time!
Let the sun flare fun begin.

I just love her poses….

 

…see what I mean?
The over the shoulder serious glance. Such a classic.

I asked these three crazy girls to give me some poses on the blacktop since I had a fun sun flare opportunity.
My husband was complaining of the “glare” while I kept snapping away.

Standard.

Giggles.

 

Love this one.

 

Sun flare, I love you.
And I will love you even more when I get a real camera. 
With an actual lens.
One day.
