We had back to back celebration dinners with both boys’ soccer teams, and that meant pizza for dinner two nights in a row.  The boys were thrilled to receive their trophies and to have pizza too.  With Logan’s celebration on Sunday, most of the teammates were there.  After eating, the head coach prepared to hand out the trophies.  Connor was so excited about the trophies that he quietly left us at the table to stand near the coach.  The coach ended up asking him to help pass out the trophies and of course Connor was happy to take on the job.  He also helped the coach to call out one boy at a time to receive the trophies.  Logan was pleased to be called and receive his reward.  He was proud to hold his trophy for a picture.

    
     Tonight it was Connor’s turn and he had been asking me for the countdown of hours to this party.  These younger kids were a lot more rumbustious compared to Logan’s team the night before, and were also happy to see each other.  We accomplished getting everyone seated for dinner, but after eating, the kids were running around the room again.  The coach decided to give out the trophies to calm them down.  Then it was cake time.  One of the moms bought a cake with the team picture and all the kids were happy to get the slice with their own face to eat.  It was then time to go home, and it marked the end of the soccer season.  The boys were proud to parade their trophies around the house for the rest of the evening.
