Today is Hailey's birthday. Can you believe I have a 6 year old? We had our family party on Saturday (Dave is in Santiago today, plus there is a farewell party for some missionaries), and Friday will be her big bash... and we're talking a BIG Chilean-style party. As in 40 children have been invited, plus parents usually accompany them. Anyway, back to Hailey.
Hailey is seriously the sweetest child. We prayed and prayed for her, and she was certainly worth the wait. Hailey is thoughtful, obedient, so smart, and helpful; it really is impossible not to love her. She had told me that she wanted pancakes for her birthday breakfast. It slipped my mind that her favorite topping is peanut butter and honey, so instead I prepared berries and whipped topping. Rather than bringing to my attention my mistake, when we were done eating she informed me that the reason she wanted pancakes is because she knew there would be leftovers and that she could have some with peanut butter and honey later on... how sweet is she?
By the way, this pictures is a year old, but I don't dare download anymore pictures at the moment... I really ought to just buy a new computer.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAILEY!!! I love the shirt she's wearing. You are so lucky to have so many friends (and you are so generous!) come to your birthday bash for Hailey. I can't imagine!! I hope your festivities go without a hitch and you take lots of pics for all of us to see! We miss you guys. I can't believe it's been that long since we were hanging out with baby Hailey. It's so wonderful to see them grow up to be such special little people. I can only hope mine are as sweet as Hailey.
Hailey really is so super sweet! Happy Birthday Hailey! I'm so glad I was at Moms earlier so I could sing happy birthday over the phone to her!
Happy Happy Birthday Hailey! She is sooo sweet. I can't believe she is 6 already too. How crazy. I cannot wait to see you guys this summer.
What a cute girl! Happy Birthday:) I love that you are going to hire either a magician or a barbie....does someone really dress like a barbie and come to parties? I think I have found my new calling in life...hee hee:)
Oh tell her Happy Birthday from the cousins she's never met!! She looks like an absolute sweetheart! I know looks can be deceiving but since you have confirmed that she is as sweet as she looks ...even better!! I hope we will get to meet the rest of your family soon!! Enjoy the HUGE bash for Hailey!! Again HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAILEY!!!
Happy birthday yesterday Hailey. It sounds like you are going to have the funnest party. Can I come? I wish.
Oh man, this means it's true. We've been in Michigan for 6 years! :) We moved here right after Hailey was born, I remember her well as a newborn. Infact, I think I cried when I saw her. The thought of one of my bestest friends having a baby sent me over the edge... and now look at us, Kim! :) Happy Birthday Hailey! You'll always have a special place in my heart. Cale's too.
She looks so grown up. What a sweet girl...that story brought tears to my eyes. You are the best mom EVER...I dont' think I have ever made pancakes. :(
I'm so excited about Hailey's party! I want to hear all the details and see pictures when you get a chance. I wish I could be there! So Fun!

Happy Birthday Hailey!! What a cutie!
