End of the Season

Well, Brooks had his last soccer game the other day.  This was his first time playing any sport, so we weren't really sure how it was going to go.  Sometimes he ran around, following the crowd, but with a bit of confusion.  But as the season went on, there were more opportunities for him to really step up and get aggressive (in a good way).  He only scored a few goals all season, one in the last game, but he learned a lot and he had lots of fun.  The highlight for him was definitely getting his trophy.  He would carry it around everywhere if I would let him.  We're going to try soccer again in the spring and we can't wait!

Brooks loves going to soccer practice.

After his first game: Watching him run around with no clue what he was doing sure did make me nervous for the rest of the season.  Good thing he improved A LOT!

Daddy/Daughter Date Night

Chick-fil-a does this great thing for Daddy's and their little girls.  You actually call ahead of time and make reservations for this event.  I just mentioned it to Chad, and he made a reservation right away.  It was so cute seeing them get ready to go out together.  He kept sending me pictures throughout their dinner date, and it was clear that they were having a great time.  Chick-fil-a transforms a part of the restaurant to make it extra fancy with a princess theme to everything!  They have waiters, flowers on the table, a princess cow walking around for pictures, and fancy menus.  Chad said that it was geared towards older girls, but it's never too young to give a daughter some special time with her Daddy.  She came home and was so excited to tell me all of the fun things she did at Chick-fil-a.

These were the original costumes that I had planned for the kids to wear.
