A Mad Hatter Tea Party!

I can not believe that our baby girl is two. She is SO fun and we love her very much! Her brothers can't get enough of her... most of the time! She loves them and wants to do everything they do. She is a girly girl all the way, she loves pink and purple and princesses and mermaids. Her favorite thing to watch on TV is Wow Wow Wubbzy, and her favorite movies are Little Mermaid and Alice in Wonderland! She sings and dances around the house, and always wants pretty things on, shoes, necklaces, nightgowns. Girl all the way! She is also a Diva, she knows what she wants and she does everything she can to get it! She has everyone wrapped around her little fingers! We couldn't imagine life without our sweet little Hayleigh bug!

First thing on her Birthday Aunt Tiffy dropped by to bring her her first present, It was an Ariel cup and she was so excited! Then after playing a little and a nap it was time to celebrate Hayleigh's big day! In honor of the birthday girls love for Alice in Wonderland, we had a "Mad Hatter Tea Party"!

the guest of honor... Miss Alice herself!
This was our Tea Party Decor and food!

Hayleigh was in heaven, she loved getting to be Alice, and she was thrilled about her tea party, and cake and cookies! Here she is checking out her presents!

and what would Wonderland be without the Cheshire Cat in the tree?

Then came the party guests! We told every on to come in a "Mad Hat" for our party. And come in "Mad Hats" they did! Some were made and some were burrowed, It was so fun to have such fun and creative hats! The boys loved getting to make their hats! Taylor made a volcano with dinosaurs, and Easton made his hat out of Lego's! Such creative boys!

Here's the whole "Mad Hat" Gang! Everyone eating and visiting, and..

enjoying the tea party!

Then It was off to see the Queen of Hearts for...

a Game of Croquet!

giving it a try all by herself

After croquet we noticed the Queen's roses were the wrong color so...

We Painted the Roses Red

We did it in a relay, they would run down and fill their paintbrush, when they ran out of paint they would put it back in the paint can and go tag the next person on their team for a turn!
Hayleigh was a pro and had a blast!

tagging grandpa in for his turn!

Tiff aka the "Queen of Hearts" judging to see which team had the roses painted red the best!

Next thing you know, Hayleigh was painted red as well!

Amy the culprit of painting Hayleigh red!

After the roses were thoroughly painted red it was time for...

the Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum Three Legged Race! And the winners were... Taylor and Daddy!

after racing it was time for a rest so we...
Opened Presents!

Her first gift was and Ariel doll and she was good! She loved it so much that she didn't even need to open another gift! When she figured out that all the gifts had fun things in them for her she was loving it! She would open them and say "Oh my gosh" or "SO Pretty!" and then show them off to everyone! She was super cute!

after presents it was time...

To Eat Some Cake!

We sang Happy Birthday and had lots of yummy cake and ice cream!

It was such a fun night and Hayleigh had such a great time celebrating her birthday with loved ones! Thank you so much for coming to play and celebrate with us! We love you all so much and are super grateful to be able to live close to so many people who love and care about us!
