Happy Birthday, Hailey!

Hailey turned 7 last week... where does the time fly?

We started the day out by eating her favorite breakfast... pancakes (she prefers them with peanut butter & honey), then sent her to school with alfajores to share with her classmates (super yummy cookie with manjar (Carmel) in the middle, then dipped in chocolate). After school she went to ballet, then for dinner we went to McDonalds (she was trying to decide between 3 things... 1. creamy Italian chicken- unfortunately I haven't been able to find the right kind of Italian dressing lately. Plus in Chile this sauce costs $30-$40. 2. cereal. I said no. 3. McDonalds. Said yes. And the toys were cute Pet Shop toys, so the girls were thrilled! Then home for gifts.Yes, that is a Christmas bag... no, it's not Christmas.The following night the girls in Hailey's school class came over for a pajama party (3 hrs, not a sleepover). They enjoyed lots of treats, playing, and for 5 minutes, High School Musical 3 (until a few girls decided they would rather dance in front of the projector). Then everybody just wanted to play. Even though it didn't go as planned, everyone had a good time. For some reason I only took pictures during the 5 minutes where the kids actually watched the movie.


Right after blowing out the candles...


The next morning we went to Chillan again. Our dear friends made a beautiful sign, cake and even had presents for Hailey at lunch time.

Happy Birthday Hailey! What a great girl. I can't believe that you said no to cereal and yes to McDonalds. Cereal is so easy (one of our kids chose it for their birthday dinner this year). Looks like you guys are having fun!
