A Special Day

Yesterday I took the kids to my Niece's Princess Birthday party. Hailey is turning 4 on Tuesday. The last time the kids and I saw Hailey was at her first birthday party 3 years ago. (Which is what made this a special day.) When we arrived Hailey was just leaving with grandma (my step mom)and granny to get pizzas for the party. At this point she had no idea what was going on or who we were. While they were gone, Mellissa (my sister)and her boyfriend Chris got all the decorations and gifts out of the closets and set things up. The kids and I got to visit with Mellissa and Chris for an hour before they finally came back with the pizzas.
When Hailey came up stairs and saw us and the balloons, she got really shy. It took her awhile to leave her Grandma's side. We ate pizza and then she opened her gifts.


This is Mellissa and my kids waiting for Hailey to come back.
After all the gifts were opened, Hailey came around and started talking a little bit. Rachael helped her get all of her Barbie things out the box. These two had a really great time playing together the rest of the afternoon. We were the only other ones there, so we stayed and visited for several hours while the kids all played together.
Here's Dylan playing with Hailey on the stairs. Cody was at the bottom of the stairs tossing a ball to them. This was a really great day and I can't wait to do it again. Hopefully sooner than 3 years again.

Holy cow... I haven't seen Melissa since she was a little kid. Now she is a momma of a four year old!?! Sheesh... craziness. That was awesome that you got to spend so much time with them and enjoy Hailey's party. ;o)
