Birthday Planning

Today I took Hayden to Party City to pick out the theme for her birthday party. I know every one thinks that she is going to do the Princess Theme, and she did pick one of the princesses, just not the princess that anyone is expecting. She picked Ariel (the little mermaid) which is very strange to me because she doesn't really even like The Little Mermaid movie...Oh well I guess things are changing. It is very cute and will be a very pretty, princess party(lots of pink and purple). I know all the guys are real excited! I tried to persuade her to pick Cinderella because when we first started talking about her birthday party that is what she wanted and she wanted all white and blue balloons(doesn't that just sound beautiful), but she informed me that she would do Cinderella next year, I was a little disappointed so maybe I can have Cinderella with lots of blue and white balloons for my birthday in October(hint hint). Hayden also wanted to go ahead and pick out all of Gracie's birthday stuff, but I told her that Gracie just had a birthday and we will have to wait and see what Gracie likes when it is time for her 2nd birthday! I also have found a very cute Little Mermaid cake at Publix and it actually comes in an ice cream cake, so I'm thinking I may try that this year. I have to wait and see what Hayden thinks about that! I keep asking her what she wants for her birthday, because seriously this child already has EVERYTHING. She keeps telling me that she wants fingernail polish(go figure) maybe I will take her for a manicure and pedicure(I bet she will laugh the whole time because it tickles). Oh well I am sure we will come up with the perfect gift for our perfect girl(we always do). It is so hard to believe that she is going to be 4 years old, I keep telling her that she will always be my baby and she says "no Mommy I am a Big Girl now, see how long my legs are."
