Hayden turns 7!

Our sweet little Hayden turned 7 on February 22nd. I know that every mom says this but I really, really can't believe that she is 7! She is so tall and looks like she is that old, but my little baby girl is growing up! Hayden is the sweetest, most precocious little girl. She reads like a fiend, and is the top reader in her class. As of today, she has read 920 books this school year. I always tell her, "Hayden, you are so beautiful, but even more importantly, you are beautiful on the INSIDE." She is such a good friend, big sister, and Mommy's right hand. She had a birthday party with 28 friends (yes, that's right ... and yes, Riley and I and my mother-in-law deserve medals for throwing that party at our house!). All the kids ate pizza, played outside on the trampoline, playset, and bouncy house, and watched a movie with popcorn. Everyone had a blast. I am still finding popcorn kernels from that party. One of her requests was to go to Build-A-Bear. Sweet Hayden wanted to include Noah, so part of her birthday wish was that Noah got to choose a stuffed animal, too. That is our Hayden!
