After only a couple days into the winter break, it was time for Kaitlynn's next cheer competition. This time, it was Encore Celebration in downtown Houston, which made a perfect opportunity for the family and other local friends to cheer her on. Day 1 was full of fun and excitement as Kaitlynn felt the love from so many supporters. The Nighthawks performed great and were really starting to hit their stride in their Aladdin-themed routine. It was awesome to see them perform, and then we were able to hang out as a family to grab some food before heading back to the venue to watch some of Kaitlynn's friends compete. We loved having the flexibility to enjoy the performances but still head home and sleep in our own beds for the night. Overall, Day 1 was a success and we were ready for Day 2!
However, Day 2 of the competition started off quite a bit more chaotic. It was the final day of the World Cup and there were all kinds of parties and celebrations downtown which made our arrival a little rushed. Then we headed inside for team photos, but shortly afterwards, there was an electrical fire in the convention center that scared everyone and caused us all to rush outside in the celebratory World Cup crowds. It was mass chaos but still a fun and festive atmosphere to get the girls' blood flowing before they hit warmups.
Regardless of the chaos, the Nighthawks took to the stage and killed it! They performed their routine in amazing fashion and ended up taking home the titles of National Champion, Best Choreography, and Entertainer of the Year for their division! Wow! It was an unexpected honor and the team was beyond thrilled! We were so excited for these girls and reveled in all the celebratory fun into the late hours of the night! Go Nighthawks!!
