Hayley celebrated her 4th birthday!! We celebrated by having friends over on 4th of July. We had a cookout with hamburgers and hot dogs and everyone brought a side to share. We had the sprinkler going... which was needed b/c it was like 90 degrees out. Hayley had lots of fun with all her friends over. Then we had cake and Disney Princess cupcakes. She had crowns for all her friends to wear as well.
On the 5th we started her birthday by her receiving a phone call from Cinderella wishing her a Happy Birthday, which she really enjoyed. Then she was able to open her presents. Cole got her a ball, Alyssa got her a little hand held learning game and we gave her a digital camera. Then we did a video call with Mom Mom and Pop Pop and we gave her their gift, a Princess Bike! She loved them all. Alyssa on the other hand was having a heard time dealing with not getting anything. We then went swimming at our neighbors house which both enjoyed. Hayley by the end was fine in just her arm floaters and having a ball! Such a change from last year! Alyssa was even just in her arm floaters and a floating bar thingy. After swimming we changed quickly and went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse, which was delish! Hayley finished her birthday with a phone call with Grandma and Grandpa and we gave her their gift, some money, which she is looking forward to spending!!
All in all it was a great two days of celebrating. At special times like this, it is especially hard not being near family, however, I am continually reminded of God's grace, and the awesome gift of "Family" which He has blessed us with, whom love us and our kids like we are.
