soccer stars

Emma Jane's soccer team ended the season with a BANG!  The final game for TEAM BLUE was very exciting!  Almost every team member scored their first goal during this game, including Emma Jane!  It was so cute to see the kids giving each other high-fives.  After the game, the team enjoyed a small celebration complete with cupcakes! 

Lily scored the first goal and lit a fire under the rest of the team!

Great job, Lily!

Soon Emma Jane was on the move...

and scored her very first goal!

I love the look on her face....

a little shocked, but very proud of herself!

Lily giving a high-five and Savannah clapping...

Emma Jane is lucky to have such sweet friends!

Emma Jane and Hannah cheered from the sidelines.

Silly girl on the field...

This is Emma Jane's response when Coach Chris

asked which way they needed to kick the ball. 

Yes, I think he asked them that EVERY play!

Paul had to chase Vivi off the field a few times!

Vivian also sat with big sis when she was "on the bench"!

A few more action shots...

Savannah and Emma Jane love

running through the parent tunnel!

Time to celebrate!

I love the way Vivi appears to have

her hand on her hip as if to say,

"Hey, do I get one of those cupcakes!?!"

Don't worry, she did!

Team Blue with Coach Chris

Coach Chris was very patient, kind, and FUN, and we are all grateful to him for making this such a positive experience for the kids. Emma Jane told us she wants to continue playing soccer, so THAT in itself is a victory!
