Happy Birthday Jaylee!

A few cute pictures of Jaylee throughout the year.




Today is Jaylee's birthday. The day started out crazy, trying to get ready for her party and everything, but it ended up great! Grandma Adams came in town yesterday afternoon and brought Gracie, Ellie and Addie (cousins). We went to the pumpkin walk on Monday, had pizza for dinner, and had a crazy night trying to make kids sleep. Today, we had a great breakfast and I started getting ready for a birthday party. Jaylee had 4 friends come over to celebrate. We had the best time. We played lots of games.

When the girls first arrived they colored Halloween pictures. After that we danced to "The Monster Mash" and every time the music stopped, the girls had to freeze. It was actually quite funny!
After dancing we went on a ghost hunt. I had ghosts hung up all over the house so we searched for them. On the back of each ghost was a Halloween picture to make a matching game. We played the matching game twice. The girls loved it! After the matching game I had hidden 1 Halloween treat for each girl so one at a time they went and found their treat. Next we played "Don't eat Pete"! This was a blast and of course the girls loved the Skittles. Next we played "Hot Pumpkin" the same as "Hot Potato" and each girl got to keep a little pumpkin.
You'd think that would be enough games but we kept on playing...Next we played pin the nose on the Jack-O-lantern. Then we opened presents, sang happy birthday, ate cupcakes, then decorated sugar cookies!
I love my little Jaylee. She is a fireball! In fact, she's a hard little girl right now but there are times that she can be so darn sweet and those short glimpses keep me going and remind me how special she is. Hard stages too shall pass! She's my cute little baby and I love her to pieces! Happy Birthday Baby!
