And finally she starts her autograph book off in style!

Anna's big day certainly did not disappoint as today she ran onto the sacred ground at Carrow Road as one of the team mascots. The most amazing birthday present from her friend Pierre was such a fantastic experience for her (and me as the accompanying and allegedly responsible adult). She met the players and got autographs galore, had a tour of the ground, sat in the dugout, got a brand new kit and then ran onto the pitch with one of her favourite players. She loved it and smiled and smiled. Even better we even dragged along the whole family, cousins and all, to watch her big moment (with Amy and Lucy quietly and perhaps reluctantly even enjoying the football too). She was polite, quite quick witted with the players and then it all fell apart when she told one city player that he was not as good as her favourite John Ruddy. He pretend sulked, gave her a high five and then ran off. Best moment - in the city changing room she stood by Wes Hoolahan's kit and drinks bottle and simply sighed in a loved up, hero worshiping haze and mist. She is one very lucky girl who received the most wonderful of gifts from a good friend and I feel very privileged to have shared it with her. Cheers Wiggle - you gave me a day to never forget too xx
