Last Basketball Game

Tonight was Anna's last basketball game. She had a great season and has learned a lot from where she was 7 games ago.  She couldn't even score a basket when they started the games and has been scoring a lot during warm ups. But she had yet to score during a basketball game.... that is until tonight! Turns out that Grammy, Poppy, Grama and the Horton's just need to come to more games :)

So, YUP!!!! She scored her first basket!!!! Another parent got a video of it so we have that to share soon too.

Needless to say she was through the roof with excitement and I cried. So proud of that little girl. She just happened to be in the right place at the right time and the rebound landed right in her hands (she later said she had no clue how she got the ball but she just did). Then she dribbled a couple of times and with the entire crowd yelling "SHOOT!!!!" she did. And SWISH. Then the crowd cheered!!!!

And then that smile :)

After the game she came running up to all of us saying, "I scored!!! I scored!!!!" as if we didn't notice :) And later while she was watching the video of herself scoring she was beaming. When the video was over she looked up and just said, "Awesome."

While laying in bed Anna was talking about her basket and she told me that apparently when her teammate shot the ball and she was getting ready to rebound she told herself "I can do this." And sure enough right then and there she had a chance to score......

Way to go Banana. So proud of you. You are so much fun to watch even though you like to play with your hair a lot....

It's nice ending the season on a high note; she can't wait to play again next year :)

This girl was radiating excitement. She was so so so happy to have scored a goal during the game :)
