- Good morning everyone.
Today I have my gymnastics meet,
which I'm super excited about.
So let's do Advent
and then we'll do my gymnastics meet.
Let's go.
- Yay!
- [Dad] This one for Duncan?
- Yeah.
- [Dad] Okay.
- Heavy.
- [Dad] It is heavy. I'll help you.
Oh, Ru's gonna help you too.
- [Mom] Duncan's so excited.
- [Dad] Now we're opening two today, Duncan
because we missed it yesterday.
- Yeah.
- Good giving Luke.
- Oh, I'm gonna do three, four.
- Yeah.
- [Dad] Awesome.
- This is three.
- [Dad] Ooh, it's like a little bird.
- Yeah, it's a bird.
- [Mom] Ooh, there's a lot in there
- I think this one's gonna be a wreath.
Oh yeah!
This one's four.
My first Advent calendar.
- [Dad] Ooh, Teddy's?
- [Mom] Teddy, it's your turn! It's your Advent!
You get your box!
Oh my goodness. - This one.
- This one? Jacob's got your story.
- [Mom] (laughing) It's on there.
Oh, what is it?
It's pink.
- He just likes opening the doors.
- What's in there?
What is this? What is it?
Can you, what is it?
(laughing) I really should have just gotten him a box.
Look. What's that?
- [Dad] Is it a pig?
It's a pig.
(Mom giggles)
- [Mom] He loves it.
(gasps) It's in there.
Okay. A new place to put his pig.
- [Boy] He was opening number 14.
- [Mom] Ooh!
- [Boy] A rooster!
- [Dad] It's a rooster!
Get it? 'Cause it's, it's "roo".
- [Boy] Yeah. - [Mom] Rue, rooster.
- [Dad] Bring it over here.
- Mama. - [Parents] Mama.
- [Dad] Mama. Oh, Rue wants to sniff it.
Let's bring it to mama.
Say, here you go mama.
- [Mom] Oh, thank you Teddy.
Thank you.
So, number three is from Anna J. Cooper.
"The cause of freedom is not the cause
of a race or a sect, a party or a class.
It is the cause of humankind
the very birthright of humanity."
We have black raven tea.
What is that gonna be?
Ooh, I'm excited to try this.
I don't know what black raven tea could be.
And then number four,
Héloïse: "riches and pomp are not the charm of love.
True tenderness makes us separate the love
from all that is external to him.
And setting aside his position, fortune and employments
consider him merely as himself."
Okay. And let's see, we have emperor's green tea.
Nice! Look forward to an emperor's green tea.
And a little update.
My voice is better today so it still has the sound
but it's way better than yesterday.
And I'm really excited because yesterday was hard
cause they really wanted to cheer very hard for Jacob.
So I'm so glad because hopefully I can cheer for Parker.
I took a longer warm shower last night
because I looked up remedies for laryngitis
and they said moist or humid air is really good.
And I've been drinking warm tea,
but hopefully it's, it's just keeps improving.
I still don't feel sick at all.
My voice is just gone. It's weird.
So Mommy's gonna pick out Jacob.
Do you wanna get it from me, Lukey?
- [Luke] Yeah.
- Okay.
Oh my goodness. It's so fun to give, isn't it?
Oh big boy.
- Yay!
- Thank for helping too, Duncan.
Oh my goodness.
You picked that out for Jakey.
- Day three right here.
Okay, let's see.
- Pam!
- Looks like it.
- It's Pam. Pam! Called it.
- I think it's Pam.
- They have gone with, like the key players,
but I don't know, it kind of--
Does that look like that girl that people say looks like A--
what's her name?
- [Dad] The character you were thinking of is Erin.
- Erin!
- [Dad] And Erin does not look like that.
I think that's definitely Pam.
- I think it's the hair color and the earrings are kind
of throwing me off.
But I guess Pam wears earrings. Pam wears earrings.
- [Dad] And she usually wears like a cardigan sweater thing.
- Yeah, that is Pam.
And then four.
- Four.
- [Boy] It's gonna be Pam!
- Yeah, it's Pam. This one's Pam.
- What?
- They're both Pam.
- Let's see.
- That guy! This guy.
- Is it Daryl?
- You have all the front people, except for Dwight.
- Looks like Daryl.
- [Duncan] I finished with one of my ornaments.
- [Dad] Oh? Let's see it.
- [Mom] It's so pretty!
I love that Duncan.
- [Dad] Awesome. Good job.
- This accidentally happened.
And if you pull this, we get smaller and smaller,
these pieces.
- Who's gonna be next?
- [Boy] Mine!
Mine!
- You get two today. Two. - Two?
- Get three.
- [Boy] You get three. And Luke?
- [Boy 2] Guess how old Luke is?
- [Boy] Three!
- (gasps) Who's that?
♪ It's a baby Maribel ♪
- [Boy] Aw, it's baby Maribel!
- Maribel
- Okay. There are a bunch of pieces
to this one because there are bees swirling around.
- Augustine
- What? Augustine.
- Augustine. Oh, look at his face.
Bailey, look at this.
- That looks like me when I get stung by a bee.
- Oh, five.
- Eight bees.
Eight. Nine bees.
That's a lot of bees.
- Yay you go.
- Thank you.
Ah, number three.
- I'm guessing, it's gonna be, the squirt squirts.
- Oh, it's flowers. Number four.
- I'm guessing it's a scrunchy.
No, it's not a scrunchy.
- They're little.
- Oh, the wipers.
- Oh they're, they're like reusable little wipers for you.
Makeup up removers.
- Yes. Those are awesome.
♪ On the fourth day of Christmas ♪
♪ my advent calendar gave to me makeup wipes, ♪

♪ Two mushroom earrings and a scrunchy. ♪
Uh oh uh oh.
- Uh oh must have fallen down into seven
Or something.
- Wait, I feel it.
There it is.
Yay. And they're all in the wrong spaces.
- There you go Rue.
- Next one tomorrow.
- Another gingerbread man. That's so funny.
- And Rue picks out Parker's.
- Thank you, Luke.
Iron man! Oh wait, no, Thor!
No, Thanos!
- Thanos, yeah, Thanos.
- Oh I was right Thanos is wearing an ugly sweater.
- I just really wanna see Thanos wearing an ugly sweater
- Oh!
- Is it missing?
Yeah, it looks like it slipped.
- Nope, you can't get it..
Oh.
[Laughs]
This is my clue to you.
This is so wrong. Oh my gosh. I love it.
- Luke, can you figure it out?
Who hasn't gone yet?
Is it Dada?
- Yeah!
- Okay.
- Thank you.
Number three is coffee.
This is, oh this is not a washed bean.
It is a natural bean.
It is doTERRA estate.
Uber, Landia, Brazil.
Sweet caramel spice are the notes.
- Nice
- Number four.
Looks like coffee. Fully washed.
So I've had two washed, one natural and this one
is fully washed.
This one has black current, chocolate and sugar cane.
That sounds good.
And it's from Rwanda.
Alright, that's it for Advent.
Parker's already leaving.
He wants to go to gymnastics.
Let's go.
Alright. We are at the gym right now.
It's packed in there.
Parker is doing some warm up.
So he is going from station to station, warming up.
Airplane.
And then, and then he will start competing in a little bit.
(bouncy music)
It's really noisy in there so I popped out again
to tell you that now he's competing.
So from this point on, everything he does is a
is part of the competition.
(bouncy music)
He was nervous about that mushroom.
He did great.
That was really good.
- Hi.
- Hi. Great job.
- Thank you.
Did you have fun?
- Yeah.
- I saw you got some purples.
- Yeah, for some reason they don't give out ribbons anymore.
They just show it on the screen and give you this card.
- And you got a green.
- I did get a green
- And everything else was yellow.
- Yeah. Great.
- Fantastic.
- Yeah.
- I got a medal.
This is the 26th annual judges cup
and I am so happy that I got a medal.
I've gotten actually a lot of medals
but this is my second place that I've gotten medals at.
That's kind of wild because I've only gotten
to two places that have had medals and this is one of them.
I was so nervous.
You have no idea.
I was so nervous.
I have like a few skills that like I didn't do correctly
and I was like, oh no
I'm gonna get like blue on that and I didn't.
I got purple, yellow and green.
Those are the only three colors I got.
And there are six colors.
Pale blue is participant. White is fair.
Orange is good. Yellow is excellent.
Purple is outstanding and green is superior.
This is my scorecard.
I'm gonna tell you what I got.
Rings was yellow and then P bars was yellow too.
Palm, floor, and high bar were all purple.
And vault was green.
Green is better than outstanding.
Excellent, good, fair, and participant.
My favorite event is floor, floor, high bar and vaults.
I love those ones
because I don't really know why I like high bar.
It just like, it feels cool when you're on it.
Like if you know what you're doing
it feels cool when you're on it.
And floor is a lower body one.
And I really like lower body.
And same with vaults.
Vault is a lower body too.
I was so nervous about floor cause there's
a lot of things you need to do in floor
and I actually forgot it once while I was in practice
so I, I was really nervous about floor
but I, I got a purple.
I got a purple on floor.
I got a purple on floor!
I can improve on a lot of things
like my horizontal on rings.
That was kind of good, kind of bad, like
a lot of people can't do horizontal so
A lot of people can't do cross too.
So the cross is like this on the rings, it's really hard.
I know one person who can do the cross and that is my coach.
Well, I hope you like this video and I'll see you next time.
Goodbye.
