Our first 10 year-old


Hailey turned ten years-old today. We can hardly believe that we have a child this old. She is soo excited! It is bitter sweet to us. We love watching her grow but its sad to see her "little girl" days begin to pass. She had a fabulous day. She started with her breakfast of scones, bacon and eggs. Then we went shopping and out to lunch with her cute Aunt Liz and cousin Sawyer. She had a blast spending her birthday money and getting some new school clothes. For her dinner, she also picked the chicken pillows. We finished the night with cake and ice cream and her favorite show's season finale, "So you think you can dance!" We thought it was bedtime, but she wanted to stay up until she was OFFICIALLY ten years-old. She was born at 11:52pm. on August 7, 1998. She got her wish and then she went right to sleep. We love her so much and it is great having her in our family. She is our peacemaker. Happy Birthday, Beans. You are amazing!!!

And on that note, we are completely and officially done with our birthday season until next year. Now we recover from the party destruction that has hit the house. What a fun few weeks it has been!

That is so cute, thank you for letting us be a part of your celebration. I know it's sad to see her grow older, but as you lose your baby, I gain a babysitter. Hooray!!

I didn't realize that you had so many birthday's right together. She is 10? That is amazing - do you remember the leaf pictures all those years ago? Seems like yesterday...
