Hadley's 5th Birthday!

For days, for weeks, for months this girl has been counting down until her 5th birthday!  She simply could not wait!  Finally the day arrived and the first thing out of her mouth "How rude!  I have a bloody nose on my birthday!"  After taking care of her nose, she was happy to find the house all decorated and lots of presents waiting to be opened!

She received some fun fun things from us, her grandparents, her adopted grandparents and her cute friends!

She had her 5 pancake for breakfast, although she was so excited she could hardly eat!

Then the boys left for school and work and Grandma came to the rescue to help me pull off a party, that I had hardly anytime to prepare.  We worked all day and finally it was PARTY time!

This was the invite!

This shows the food (creative juice, paint "chips", Rice Krispe paint brushes, and marshmallows), table with aprons, a little of the decor, and the party favor(crayons and a notepad that said "Thanks for making my party a masterpiece!).

Right before the party my mom told me to take a picture of Hadley with her cute sign... well I forgot to have the sign part showing... I think I was a little frazzled!

As her friends arrived they did some fun sidewalk chalk!

Once her friends arrived we took a picture of the group!  Such fun kids!

Then we decorated bags for them to take all of their projects home in!

Then we painted real canvas's that turned into these cute projects!

I think the kids really liked them!

Then we did marble painting!  Its one of my kids favorite things to do with Grandma!  None of the kids had ever done it before and they loved it!

Then we did some finger painting with chocolate pudding!  The boys were so clean and dainty and the girls were a mess but having so much fun!  It was so funny to watch!

Then time for playdoe!

Finally it was time for treats and snacks!

Instead of presents Hadley's guests brought art supplies to donate to the Pediatric Unit at Jeremy's hospital! It was so neat to see what fun stuff people brought to share with others!  (everyone brought a little something for Hadley too which was beyond nice of them)

After we cleaned up the party we went to Pizza Pie Cafe!  Hadley was so excited for them to come sing to her and giver her a Cookie Monster!  YUM!

This girl had a FABULOUS 5th Birthday!
