After many months of counting down. Hayden finally had her birthday on May 29th. Her day of fun started with the traditional breakfast date out with Bryan. As usual, she picked Cracker Barrel and told Bryan he HAD to order pancakes. I am not sure why she cared what Bryan ate, but that was part of her plan. When the got home, the girls were ready with her presents. I had taken Taylor and Payton to Walmart the day before and let them each have $5 to spend to buy her something. They wanted to get the most for their money so they headed to the section of $.88 toys. They bought an assortment of things that included, my personal favorite (heavy sarcasm intended,) a recorder. Hannah had spent the night so she was there to join in the fun. The girls spent time decorating the gift bags and getting everything ready for Hayden. She, of course loved all of her presents. I couldn't resist taking a picture of all the girls modeling the "Bubba" teeth, one of the gifts from Payton.
The day continued with a trip to the mall. Hayden decided to do that instead of having a birthday party. We went to all of her favorite mall stores and she got to ride the carousel three times in a row. Instead of "just looking" at the Disney store, she was able to pick out whatever she wanted (within reason.) When we went to Petrie's she saw a three part Best Friends Forever necklace set and wanted to spend some of her birthday money on that so she could give each of her sisters one of the necklaces as a surprise. After several other stops, we headed home totally exhausted.
The day wasn't over though. She got a visit from Grandma Jeannie along with another birthday present.
The day ended with her getting to pick anything that she wanted for dinner. She had already decided weeks before that she would have her birthday dinner at the "computer McDonalds." She spent her first day being five, doing exactly what she wanted to do. She was so happy and I can't ask for anything better than that.
