Car Seats

After 8 years, Hadley now weighs enough to ride in a car without a carseat. After 13.5 years, our family is done with car seats! 

 

Build-a-Bear Birthday Visit

When Grandma Barbara asked Hadley what gift she wanted for her 8th birthday, Hadley asked Grandma to take her to Build-a-Bear. When we went to the mall, Hadley selected a stuffed rainbow cat that she named Rainbow Girl (aka Miss Whiskers). Hadley loved the entire Build-a-Bear process and took her time selecting two outfits and shoes for her rainbow cat. Hadley was a happy girl!

Party in the Park

We celebrated Hadley's 8th birthday with pizza, donuts, and birthday Bingo at the park in our neighborhood! Hadley was so excited to share her special day with our family and her 2nd grade classmates. It was a beautiful day for a party in the park! 

We played several rounds of birthday Bingo, and the winners received king-size candy bars and packs of gum. 

Thanks to our family for driving 3 hours to celebrate Hadley's birthday!

After the party, Hadley opened her birthday gifts. She was blessed with many of her favorite things, including colored pencils, craft projects, Kit Kats, and Reese's Cups, as well as gift cards for Chick-fil-a and Starbucks.

Hadley made a "best mom" bracelet for me using a bracelet kit that she received from her cousin Harper.
