Soccer Parties

Three of our kids have been playing soccer this spring season. Alex has been playing high school soccer. Jarem and Tessa have been playing recreational league soccer. Since February our schedule has been very busy. Over the last couple of weeks they have all had their culminating soccer parties.

Tessa's was first. They had a parents vs kids soccer game with a break in the middle for cake, pizza, and trophies. It was pretty fun. The other moms talked me into playing and I had a good time. Tessa enjoyed that I was out there too. This was when Eric, jarem, and Jesikah were in Florida, so just Alex and I were there with Tessa. Tessa got put on a great family oriented team with girls that have been together for a long time. She had an awesome coach.

Next was Jarems party at Kid n Play. It is kind of a mix between jump zone, Chuck E Cheese and a children's museum. They too had the standard pizza, cake, and trophies.

Lastly, Alex's party was a formal catered dinner on the 3rd floor of a bank. It was very nice. Just Eric and I went with him since it was $14 a plate and not really for kids.

We are proud of the effort our kids have put in to becoming better soccer players this season! And we are so grateful for a lighter schedule as well!! :)
