Somehow, my baby girl turned 5 on Thursday. I'm kind of in denial that she's five. Our life changed so much when we welcomed her into our life. Anthony was 7 and we were content to be a small happy family of three. Then, unexpectedly, Hailey reshaped our world. She is 100% girly girl. She loves playing with her babies, watching 'girl shows' and dancing! She's the apple of her daddy's eye, her mom's favorite baking buddy and her Sister's best friend. She giggles the best when playing with her favorite brother and lights up at the notion of going to see Grannie and B-pa. She prefers her nails sparkly and has a dress picked out for every occasion, even spelunking with Grandpa and SuSu. She can be entertained for hours with a blank piece of paper and a few markers. She truly is a beautiful soul and it's amazing to watch her grow.
For her birthday we started the day with our traditional princess coffee:
Then, with Grannie, we went onto Buid-a-Bear for the first time:
Picking out a heart:
First hug:
A tender bath:
Then clothed and packed up for lunch:
Being sung to at Cheesecake Factory:
And she ended the day with family Sushi dinner:
As if that all wasn't enough, we couldn't resist another reason to celebrate! Sunday we hosted a Mermaid party. Swimming was the main attraction and thankfully the monsoons held off until after the party ended.
My mom made shimmery mermaid tails for all the girls to wear. They were too cute!
All in all, a fantastic celebration of a very special young lady!
