Fun Weekend for the Birthday Girl!!!

So.....Saturday was Hailey's birthday. The silly girl didn't want to have a party this year (what is mom the party queen to do?), I kept trying to convince her it would be fun but she wouldn't budge so I gave up. Also, one of her BFFs, Maddy, was having her birthday party the night of Hailey's birthday. Maddy and her mom even tried to convince Hailey they could do a double party since they have all the same friends. Well.....stubborn girl;) was adamant that Maddy have her own party and that she didn't want to take away from her celebration. Then on Friday....my motherly sense could tell that Hailey really didn't want her birthday to go by without any fun with friends........... so at 9pm after a very busy Friday afternoon running kids from here to there and there and there and there and back again, I planned an impromptu surprise birthday breakfast for her with some of her closest friends. I was so thankful that most everyone could make it on such short notice. I ran into the $ store right before they closed and found some cute goodies and fun plastic Hawaiian plates. Mike was in charge of food and I did the decorating. Some how we were able to get all her friends into the house without her knowing on Saturday morning. Although, I did have to tell her we invited her friend (our neighbor) Britnee for breakfast so I could get her out of bed. She was totally surprised when Britnee brought her down the stairs and she was very happy to have her special day start out this way.My last minute table decorations and goodies bags.....
Totally surprised and enjoying time with her best friends......

Adorable shirt she got from Maddy.....

After the breakfast Hailey and I headed out for the mall to meet Nana for some birthday shopping, a make over at the MAC counter, and a delicious lunch.....After shopping I dropped her off at Maddy's party to celebrate Maddy's birthday with 23 kids from school and youth group.......great way to end the day!!!

Thank goodness this all occured last weekend since this week I have my last week of classes, finishing up my senior thesis paper, and finals next Monday......ok back to the books;)
