She's a Purple Belt!

Tonight was Hannah's belt ceremony for Karate. She was defiantly feeling up to going as she flitted and danced about the family room most of the day.

The belt ceremony went a little differently this time. All three of the karate classes that meet on Monday night combined into one huge belt ceremony, and then a pizza party followed afterwards. We originally had planned on staying for pizza, but there were just too many people and it was after 8:00, so we went elsewhere for dinner.

Having dropped her old belt, she waits patiently for her new belt.Her new belt color and certificate. Instructor Grant telling her how proud he was of all her accomplishments.Happy to be a purple belt.Apparently, there wasn't enough participation at this last tournament from our location, so Grant made the next tournament mandatory for belt advancement, which will be in about 2-2 1/2 months. Maybe with enough practice, Hannah will be able to place again!
