Hayden's First Birthday

I can't believe my little girl is one!

On Hayden's actual birthday (the 23rd) she decided that big girls don't nap, so after playing a few rounds of "for the love of God child, sleep!" I gave up and took her shopping. We went to my favorite thrift shop and then consignment shop and had a mini baby shopping spree. Then we went to the outlets and continued the fun. All in all I spent almost nothing between gift cards, store credit and the wonders of consignment shops, and we ended up with WAY too many toys, as always.

Then we went to Exeter to Me and Ollies to meet up with Michelle, Maria, Katy and Max. From there we all went to Jenn and Ryan's house and had a nice play date. Hayden wore the Happy Birthday hat Maria passed on to her from her birthday, and Hayden had a ball. (Photos to follow soon!)

That night, Luanne and Dave came over for dinner and we let Hayden open some presents and "eat" cake. She mushed it around and looked at it, but she had NO interest in eating it at all. But, she loved her gifts - a Weeble Tree House and some soft pjs from us, and a deck of cards with baby friendly activities from Luanne and Dave.

She went to bed like a champ and then the adults toasted her birthday with martinis. A good birthday was had by all.
