Hailey is 3

Hailey turned 3 on Dec 14. We celebrated with a party at my mom's with her best-friend Bevan. Who is also her cousin. She had such a great time and continually talks about her party at "grada ickles" house. I went easy on the cake this time and ordered her a Dora cake. She loved it! She is a huge Dora fan so it worked out perfectly.

She of course was spoiled by everyone and got so many great gifts.

For her big gift she got a doll house. This is one that my dad made at least 30 years ago for a ward bazaar. The people who purchased it gave it back to my sister a few years ago. My niece kindly decided to pass it on to Hailey since they didn't really play with it any more. I updated the decorations a bit and got some new Barbie furniture for it and she was in heaven. It was so funny to see all the kids crowded around the house trying to play with it. This is definitely something that will be enjoyed for a long time.


One of the best parts was that my Grandma Marie was able to attend the party. She gets a little mixed up with the names of the kids, but you can tell that she loves them.

I can't believe that Hailey is three. She is such a great little kid. She is spunky and feisty and always has to be right. But she is also sweet and imaginative. She has really come out of her shell lately and she is much friendlier with people we see. She is truly a red-head in every way.
