Hayden's Birthday!

Well, we spent all weekend celebrating Hayden's birthday.  It was so much fun and I am pretty sure she is one happy little girl.  Saturday morning she went for her Softball tryouts.  She did good considering it was 29 degrees and she was frozen.  She is going to be on Coach Matt's team again this year, which she was excited about.  Their team name is the Ducks this year.  He wants to try her at 3rd base this year, so we are going to start getting her ready!  After that we went to Athens so that she could pick out her bicycle that she wanted for her birthday.  She found the perfect one and Mimi and Pop were also in Athens, so we put the bike on the back of their truck to bring home.  Well, when we got here they had a little something else for her on the back of the truck....a new trampoline.  Ours was falling apart and she loves the trampoline.  She was a very happy girl!  It was a big surprise because even Mark and myself didn't know anything about it. 

Then we cooked fish, french fries and crab legs for dinner and Mimi and Pop, Kim and Artie, Grandmama and Linda all came to help celebrating a wonderful birthday.  She had so much fun and got all the presents that she wanted.  She got some fancy boots from Aunt Kim and Uncle Artie and her inch of pearls.  I can't believe that she now has 7 inches of pearls.  Seems like just yesterday she got her first inch!  She got a radio for her playhouse from Aunt Linda and Grandmama gave her lots of stuff to make bracelets with.  She is so very lucky to have so many people that love her so much. 

Sunday, we did our usual birthday celebration at American Girl.  My girls love it and so do I.  I feel like a little girl in that place.  When we got there she begged and pleaded for the new doll, Saige.  I didn't plan on buying a new doll, but she has some serious pitiful eyes.  She finally got to Mimi.  Mimi told her that it was okay to get the doll as part of her birthday.  So then Gracie pulled out the pitiful face and got to Aunt Kim.  Needless to say both of my girls were very pleased with their new dolls.  They sure are lucky to have Mimi and Kim!  Hayden was so excited when they brought out the huge banana split for her birthday party.  She loves it and so did the rest of us!  It was such a fun day and many memories were made!

Thanks so much to everyone for every thing that you do for us and our babies.  We love you all very much!  We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family!

Happy Birthday Hayden!!!  We love you to the moon and back!
