Danielle's baton group performed at our town's tree lighting ceremony tonight. We have so many girls in our group this year; there was hardly enough room for them all to line up. Danielle was front and center again! (Being in the front row is quite the privilege.) The girl next to Danielle bumped her and knocked Danielle's baton from her hand within the first few seconds of the routine. Danielle quickly recovered, though, and did a great job. She put a lot of time and effort into practicing for this, and it showed. I'm proud of her. 
Later tonight Danielle played in her first basketball game. Kids Danielle's age play in an instructional league, where you can't steal the ball from someone's hands, the coaches double as the refs, and the players wear color coordinated sweat bands so they know who they're guarding. Considering Danielle's team only had 2 practices prior to this game, it's probably a good thing they teach and learn as they go. Danielle had a blast! She ran her butt off, guarded her guy, and even scored once. It was really fun watching her!
