One Party, Two Party, THREE PARTY!

Wow, soccer fall season is coming to an end. The Purple Flames have their League Tournament coming up and Tigers + Tsunami games end this weekend too. We celebrated fall season with a triple party weekend!

Usually, the Flames go bowling. This year Nana's friend, Natalie's family opened their home to 13 Purple Flames + their families! It was nice to mingle and potluck a fantastic meal together! What a treat. These families are so dear to our family's heart. They are committed. They are supportive. And, because we've been together for 8 seasons = 4 years we are like family.

The P7 Family opened up their home and rearranged their furniture to acommodate this crowd. The girls played and chatted together for a long time. I know Nana has a bond with each girl and really loves her team.

Go, Purple Flames!

This isn't the end...we have a couple hectic 2 weeks coming up...wait and see! Soccer isn't over...yet.

The Tsunami Party was at Harbor Square. The girls swam there and then we had a potluck in their daycare facility. Kinda gross, I know but it was reasonable priced...and no one is sick - yet! :)

The girls didn't receive trophies we did dog tags for our big girls this year. They can add to them each year and then we aren't stowing a ginormous box of trophies ::ahem:: like Daddy's that is a fixture in our garage.

I think this is more like a keepsake and it's in one spot versus all over the house collecting dust.

This picture below...I kinda am in love with.

I think Daddy is caught off guard. Each girl high fived and I think he was expecting Isa to do the same. But, she squeezed him bear hug style. I know each of our kids appreciate their Daddy and what he does for him but I think when they show that appreciation it's always unexpected.

Me, of course, being the blubbering Mommy I am got all teary. He really does put so much soul into what he gives to these teams and I love seeing his passion for these kids, their families and his community.

Sunday morning, was the Tigers' turn. We went to a local pizza place for an early lunch and took over their banquet room, did I mention everyone had soccer games in between these parties? Insanity. 2 games Saturday and 1 Sunday + 3 parties = a tired G6 on Sunday evening. Thank you, Universe for that extra hour of sleep. Well needed.

Our cousin, Livi plays on our team and her momma, Aunty Andria orchestrated the coach's gifts and a craft project for the kids. They each made pictures for the coaches which meant so much to them. Thank YOU, Aunty Andria for thinking of the coaches and for orchestrating their gifts! The Daddies are super happy to spend their gift cards at none other, Soccer West!

We unfortunately didn't have trophies because the trophy place goofed BUT Denise had spare soccer bubbles from last season and Jules' Momma, Francine made goody bags + cupcakes because it was Jules' birthday so it worked out just fine!

Thank you to everyone for the great gifts for Coach Daddy! He certainly loves coaching and appreciates the family support!

And, THANK YOU - Grandpa Eddie for being a support system in the shuffling and caring for our soccer babies!
