Soccer

We went to Kierstin's birthday party today and it was at the soccer place in Loganville. Hayden has been very excited about it all week, but when we got there today she started playing for about 2 minutes and then ran over to me crying. I asked her what was wrong and she said "I just don't like it, there are too many people". Finally after lots of people trying to play with her, her Daddy took her down to the other end by themselves and she opened up just fine. She told her Daddy that she didn't like being around all of those people she didn't know. She really enjoyed it and so did Mark, yeah I know every one is surprised because he is not a fan of soccer. He was the goalie for Hayden and then all the other kids started playing with them too! I must say he isn't a very good goalie because Hayden scored every time. I am sure he was just letting her win, that is what makes him a great Daddy. He always makes Hayden try something even when she isn't too sure about it. Gracie on the other hand wasn't shy, but she wasn't really running around into everything either. She was content just standing right beside Mommy. She did start picking up the Soccer balls and throwing them. Then she she decided she was going to try to kick the ball like the other kids, she fell several times but ended up getting pretty good at it.

Everyone played soccer for about an hour and then it was time for pizza, cake and presents. Hayden made sure she got to sit right beside Kierstin for the party. Kierstin was very excited about her cake, but she was so tired she almost fell asleep at the table while her party was happening. Hayden ate all of her pizza so she didn't even want a piece of cake, I know I couldn't believe it either. Kierstin got lots of great presents, Hayden says that she is really going to like the barbie doll we gave her. They are such good friends and have so much fun together, in fact when Hayden told Kierstin that we had to leave because Mimi and Pop were coming over...Kierstin actually started crying because she wanted to come to Hayden's house to see Mimi and Pop.

Hayden had lots of fun until her legs started bothering her, the shots from yesterday are still very sore today, hopefully tomorrow they will be much better. It was a fun birthday party and I think all the kids and adults had a very good time.
