Way to go Midnight Wolves!

They definitely went out with a bang at the end of their season.  They won their first game, 5 to 0.  Layne made 2 goals, Laramie made 2 goals, and Lauren made a goal.  I am so happy that Lauren made a goal.  She is the Head Coach's daughter and she has been so upset this year about the team never winning and how bad it has been for this group of girls.  Her dad used to play soccer in college, also.  Big game for them!

We had the first game of the day - 8:00 a.m.  It should not be legal to have an 8:00 a.m. soccer game when it is only 40 degrees and the mist is so thick you can hardly see because the sun isn't even fully up!  But at least it wasn't windy and Grandma brought lots of hot chocolate.

Since we had a game that was so early, we of course decided that pizza would not work.  So I got doughnuts from Sara's Doughnuts in Alpharetta.  They are really the best doughnuts.  Matthew said I should get a referral fee - everyone wanted to know where the doughnuts came from and where they could get them.

Here is Layne on the field today:

 

And here is the whole team together: 

The coaches are in the back, Coach Allen is on the left with dark hair, and Coach Shulstad (I don't know his first name - he is the soccer player) is on the left. 

The girls standing from left to right are: Rachel, Sofia, Fiona, Laramie, Layne, Lauren, Maddie

The girls kneeling in front from left to right are: Ansley, Emma, and Ashton

Way to go Midnight Wolves!!!!!

We also got a little into the holiday spirit today.  We went to see Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer at the Center for Puppetry Arts.  It was really good!  The puppets were exactly like the ones in the TV show.  So cute - and the mesh screen in front with the projected images really added to the show. 

We also went ahead and got tickets for the Muppet Christmas Show on December 3 - can't wait!
