Princess Hadley Is Four (again)

So the only downside to not having a "formal" birthday party for Hadley, was that her celebration went on for, quite literally, three days.  Not that I'm complaining that my girlie is so loved, but it might be a little much for a child to think his or her "party" goes on for three days.  On Friday night, after our Paint N' Place trip earlier in the day, we headed to Auburn for a birthday celebration at my parent's house.  Nana and Grandaddy, and Grandaddy White all joined in on the event, as well.  My Mom used a princess theme, since Hadley is so infatuated with them right now.  After a big Italian supper, we enjoyed cake & ice cream.
My mom was always so great to make us homemade birthday cakes.  Now I feel like there's such pressure for mom's to buy the biggest, fanciest cakes. It's not uncommon for people around here to pay well over $100 for birthday cakes!  I miss the days when moms proudly mades their kid's birthday cakes.  Just for the record, if I had any cake decorating skills at all, I totally would make my kid's cakes.

Nana Hughes tried to help Hadley figure out the kazoo.  Poor girl is not the most proficient blower.  She blows up, instead of out.  I loved my grandparents sporting the party hats and blowing the kazoos; memories that I will always cherish.

Bradley, Angie, and Levi got to come celebrate with us, as well.  Hadley and Levi just love playing together.  Hadley got a Tangled dress from Granna and Grandad at her party the night before, so she just had to wear it at Nana and Poppy's the next night. 

Little Miss Rapunzel herself; all four years of her.  Lots of people are so very thankful for you, sweet girl.  You are such a blessing to your family.  Happy Birthday...again!!
