Four Years Old Already!!!!!

We were able to celebrate Hayden's (and my) birthday on the 18th. Hayden had requested a zebra birthday so that is what she got. It was so fun planning and decorating this party.
She is the sweetest little girl and acts much older than a four year old. I could not ask for a better oldest child. She is such a great example to Carson and to all her friends. I love her more than words can describe. I am so lucky to have her!!
Some fun facts about Hayden:
* She LOVES playing with her friends and cousins. She could play all day if we let her.
*She loves having sleepovers. She is constantly asking to sleep at her grandparents or her neighbors.
*She is very thoughtful. For my birthday she cleaned the playroom and drew me a picture all on her own.
* She went to the doctor today and had to get shots. She was determined no to cry even though I could tell it really hurt her. She is so brave!
*She can write almost all her letters and can recognize all of them.
*She is a big time daddy's girl. They have a great relationship...I hope that lasts!!
*She is a girlie-girl and does not like most things that have to do with boys.
*She loves reading books and will just sit and read by herself for hours.

Ready to open presents!
Hayden and her bestie Emma
We gave her a zebra pillow pet



The cake. It didn't turn out exactly how I planned and I had to do some last minute improvising, but all in all I was happy with the finished product and Hayden loved it.

The morning after, she wanted me to take a picture of her with her new stuff.
