Abby had her first soccer game this weekend. I don't know if I have ever seen her so excited as I did that morning. In fact she woke up at 6 am and put her uniform on even though her game did not start until 12:30pm.The funny thing is Abby has never played soccer. She knew nothing about the sport except for the 5 minute lesson her dad gave her that morning. However, the great thing about all-girl 5 year-old soccer is the fact that no one knows anything so it makes it much more entertaining for the parents.
At the start of the game, Abby just followed the crowd as the ball accidentally bounced from girl to girl. During a water break she came over and we told her she needs to get in there and kick the ball in the goal! Well, that changed things and she suddenly started getting in the middle of the pack. In fact she scored a goal! Well she sort of scored a goal. Both her and another little girl kicked it at the same time when it went in. They both without noticing the other ran off in complete celebration for themselves. Abby was jumping up and down with her arms in the air yelling, "I scored. I scored." It was hilarious. I guess if they both think they scored, all the better.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, the team is called the "Pink Princesses," and their uniforms from head to toe are pink. Can you get any better than that?

They even have a pink ball. I love it. So cute! Looks like Abby was having a blast. Way to go scoring a goal!
Oh, I'm so jealous. I can't find anything like that here! Abby is so adorable.
The best part is that even her SHOES are pink! So cute!
I love all the pink and you are such a good mom to even put a pink bow in her hair! :)
