hayden turns 6

It was Hayden's year for a birthday party this year.  She was so excited to be turning 6 years old!  She had a party at home and we did make overs and nail polish.  We ate pizza, cake and ice cream, and watched a movie.  It was a very fun night.  Hayden was so excited to have all of her best friends there!

Hayden's birthday party was on a Friday.  Her real birthday was on Sunday.  I had a special meal and yummy cake all prepared for a 2nd day.  Hayden came home from church with a fever.  She spent most of the day on the couch.  She perked up (with some help from children's advil) to open presents but she looks sad in most of the pictures.  I was so glad she had already had a birthday party.

Austin was on the Dodgers this year.  His team did well and won the regular season title, but came up just short in the semi-finals of the playoffs.  The highlight of the season was his grand slam one game!
