Hailey is the last birthday in our BIG stretch in birthdays. But after thinking it over I think she had a pretty awesome birthday. On Saturday 12/11 she had her Ballerina Snowflake party. It was a huge success.
I had a total of 8 girls in our living room that all had so much fun. (The boys went shooting. They reallly missed out on all the girlie-ness)
We all snacked on some food ( I never knew young girls can eat so much :-)
They had some much needed girl talk....
played a few games...
opened presents....then opened the wrapping to play with them
I wanted each girl to have their own cupcake with a candle to blow out. I figured it would be more fun to everyone and less spit from Hailey blowing on everyone's cake.
But then came the entertainment....a dance lesson with a local ballet teacher. What's a Ballerina party without dancing? I made each girl a white ballet skirt to wear during their lesson. They loved them! So well worth the pokes and burns on my fingers.
(Each girl went home with their skirt, a copy of the music...hopefully they have showed you their dance & a small goodie bag)
But on 12/14 (Hailey's actual bday) we were going to go out and have fun but our van had another plan for us. Since it broke down we stayed home. (But weird enough Mike fixed it later that evening) But in the morning I made her Waikki meatballs for breakfast (the joys of picking your birthday menu)
Then she opened our presents-
She picked her favorite movie, Shrek 3, and enjoyed a good movie morning. And of course we had cake! But this time I made a "less sugary"cake. Strawberry Shortcake with Angel Food Cake.
She was so sweet and understanding when our van wasn't working. She really showed Mike and I how mature she is really becoming....well for alittle bit at least-
She and Cati dived into the cake after everyone got a scoop and pretty much at the rest of it.
Our Sweetheart is now a whole hand. Happy Birthday Hailey!
