Hayden's Party

Pardon my absence!  We spent most of last week visiting with my brother and sister-in-law, helping get ready for Hayden's first birthday party.  Unfortunately, CC and I were laid low by a nasty stomach bug.  And by the time we returned home over the weekend, she and Little Man were struggling with a cold, too.  So it's been a bit ... not fun ... around here.  Way too much coughing, snot, and not-napping for my taste.  But we are all hopefully on the mend.


Hayden's birthday party was a smashing success!  I had a great time helping Susan with the decor.  There was a lot of hot-glue-gunning and spray painting.  And tiaras.

The party was a Tiffany-themed ladies' brunch, followed by a family party for the rest of the day.


My mom made this cake.  Can you believe it?!




Hayden enjoyed her own special cake, made by Susan's mom:


MJ with Little Man (looking slightly crazy here):


Sweet Pea finally deigned to smile for the camera.


After her nap, Hayden changed into an adorable birthday dress smocked by my mom.  I love it.


I am so excited by all the crafting we did for Hayden's party, that I'm already gathering ideas for CC's third birthday.  Which will not have a spider theme, despite what she says.
