It was so much fun to get to go shopping with her, she even let me do her hair and paint her nails... I was in mommy heaven!
The evening started off with dinner and a video of the season's highlights. One of the mom's worked tirelessly to get all the food donated for the event... pizza, pasta, wings, salad, drinks and lot's of yummy desserts. The video was amazing, I can't even imagine how many hours were put in to accumulate all of our photos and video clips... it was a wonderful reminder of how hard they worked as a team to win the metro championship.
The Principal gave a wonderful speech, him and his two adorable son's came to nearly every game and cheered them on. He was such a great support to the girls. At the expense of embarrassing his son's he told the girls that towards the end of the season when his boys would go out and play basketball they would imitate the girls and re-create some of the plays from their games!

We had asked the girls to write a favorite memory about each member of the team and then had them read them to each other... it was fun to hear what they all had to say. They were all so complimentary to each other, there were both funny and tender moments. They also did the same for their coach, who came up in tears because she was so touched. She had some wonderful thoughts and advice for the girls and it was very clear how much they mean to her and how special this team has been. We then presented her with few gifts to show her our appreciation.
Aren't they just so cute! We ended the night with a basketball pinata that we hung up in the basketball hoop which they had to break with a shootout.... I was to late to get a picture of the frenzy... but even all dressed up these lady's can kick their heels off and bust out their moves on the court!

Lexi, you look Stunning! It's hard to believe you're all grown up!
Congrats on a great season!
How fun! What a great way to end the season, and the girls all look gorgeous. Talent and beauty all wrapped in one.
Wow. I don't even know what else to say. It sounds like the banquet was almost as good as winning the championship! What a fun memory for all of you.
Again, crying. Lex, I am so proud of you. The dress is AMAZING and you are beautiful in it.
It looks like a fabulous evening and what gorgeous girl athletes, the whole bunch of them. Lexi is, of course, beautiful all the time, but when she gets dressed up, WOW!, she definitely does rock it!
Ok I am an idiot and missed that they won the championship!!! Holy cow that is freaking awesome!
The banquet sounds like it was a complete success. How fun for everyone. It sounds like the girls are really a TEAM which is probably what makes them so successful besides being so talented.
I am so proud of you Lex! And so happy that you are involved with such a great group of girls.
You are so stunning Lex! I can't believe that I am missing out on all of this! I hope that my girls are like you as they get older, you are a true inspiration! I love you!!!!
Lexi, You are Beautiful!! Ang, you look like you could be one of the girls.
Congratulations on your championship, what a great season!
What a fun night. And, what a lot of work went into it. Good going moms.
Lexie, you look beautiful in your dress and heals. It is so fun watching you grow up. I do wish you were closer to home so we could see you now and again. Have a great year at school and keep going with all the sports. A nice memory for years to come. I love you.
Wow Lex what an exciting season. What a beautiful talented girl. What a wonderful mother. This only goes to show that with a lot of hard work and enthusiasm you can accomplish anything you set your mind and heart to. We are so happy you have found a comfortable home for yourselves even though it is far away from other family members who miss and love you.
Oh my gosh your girls are so beautiful and so big. I can't believe how fast time flies. We hope that you guys are doing good and I think that you are amazing for all that you do. We love you guys
Holy Hottie, Lex!!! You look GORGEOUS!! I don't think it's fair that you're beautiful AND talented! And, Ang, you're such a super mom! How do you find time to do it all!! Wish we could have been there to cheer you on. Maybe we could have seen Grandpa Barnes get kicked out of a game :o)
