More firsts . . .
Feathers . . . the craze has been around for awhile and Hannah has had her eye on them. Blue to be exact and red if they had them :)
And then we were off to Justice. "Thanks" to her good soccer friend Miss Sarah - it's been all the talk for awhile now. J and I gave in and got her a shirt and necklace for Christmas. We thought that was it. Ha! My brother and SIL got her a GC for Christmas so of course that led us to the actual store - here are some pics of Hannah's first visit :)
Can you guess which one she chose? Nope, not the soccer one believe it or not. She chose the last one - it was blue - it had a hood - we have a winner! Plus it goes with the blue crackle nail polish she also picked out.
It sure was fun have some mother daughter time!!
There was also dad and son time but of course I don't have pics of that - no girls allowed :)

What a weekend of fun . . .
Friday night we went to a Christmas party at Owen's families house (Jordan's friend). We did white elephant gifts, ate and just hung out and mingled while the kids enjoyed themselves.
Saturday night we hosted the year end soccer party for Hannah's team/families (45 people!). I agreed as long as I didn't have to cook; it took enough work to clean - lol :) Guess who made a surprise visit? SANTA! The kids were so excited, especially the younger siblings of the girls, and each took a turn on Santa's lap. We even got Jordan to participate - woohoo! Coach Jason (aka Dad) then gave speeches about each of the girls and handed them a bag filled with goodies - a soccer medal, soccer ball ornaments, and lots of other treats from other families.
Sunday I got my Christmas present (according to me). We stayed home and had a family day. Seriously! NO soccer ~ No play dates ~ No chores ~ No errands (except to return some chairs to a family and pick of choc chips from the store). We played games, watched football, wore pjs, made homemade chocolate chip cookies and just genuinely enjoyed hanging out with each other. I dream of the day we will do this again . . .

President's Cup . . .
The ARFC Freedom 03' girls participated in the President's Cup this past weekend and what a weekend it was! Saturday was a good day - cold - but good. The girls won the first game (4-1) and lost the second game (0-1). Sunday was even colder w/ the breeze but they tied their first game (1-1) which put them in the finals (it's all based on this point system - I barely get it - lol). So the final, final game of the season was upon us. We had to play the team we lost against the day before. Half time the score was 0-0 so both teams came out full force the second half and we scored!! The one and only goal of the game - winning the Cup!!! The girls were jumping up and down and the parents were all screaming. Did you hear me? So proud of them :)
Here's some highlights of Hannah . . .

Donating . . .
to a good cause. The girls each brought a sports related item to donate to the needy.
