New dress...

Well I feel in love with a few dresses this year but never picked a specific Easter dress for Hailey. I figured Easter is on General Conference Sunday so why bother. Needless to say she just got two cute new spring dresses. Today I let her wear this one for the first time. She has been begging too. I have to admit she looked so cute and grown up! And of course she loved teh matching accessories that I had to get her especially the purse. Anyways hers a few cute pictures!

Great Grandma's Egg Hunt

Today we were lucky enough to be invited over to Great Grandma's for the kids Easter Egg Hunt. Hailey has been so excited and couldn't wait for Saturday to come. She loves Great Grandma and we enjoy the fun activities her place hosts. I am too tired to put teh photos in order. We got to visit with Great Grandma, have an egg hunt, and then a yummy breakfast for muffins, juice/milk, and cinammon rolls. Thanks to Grandma Lems & Great Grandma for inviting us!

Eating Breakfast

The Easter Bunny even came...However Hailey said it wasn't the real Easter bunny she saw hair that didnt' match. So it was someone dressed up. SHe is starting to clue into things too fast! haha

The loot...all the kids scored tons of candy and she had no help. She'[d also go to a whole pile of candy and just pick up one piece. IT was super cute!

SHe was sure proud and was so nice to even share some of her candy.

Notice teh huge pile of candy.; Yup she'd only pick up one piece and move to another area. It was cute to watch and see that she wasn't completly greedy. She had a perma grin!

Ready to start~

We sure do love our Great Grandma.

And all this candy makes me sick to loook at!

Hailey's Sweet Shoppe ...

Haileys birthday is coming up! She is going to be turning five and so excited. We decided to have her party today even though her actual birthday isn't till wed. This years theme was "Hailey's Sweet Shoppe!" IT was all candy related and so much fun. I have to list the details before you get the pics! I didn't get them in order either sorry..I am exhausted tonight!

First the Invitation!
second the darling party favors...more pics later...
Third The Candy Bean Bag Toss game...we had three bags and buckets so the kids could play it a bunch of times.

PS My awesome cousin sewed them for us! I don't sew!

Next is Hailey's Birthday Banner. The picture isn't the greatest but it says Happy Birthday and has scrapbook papers thaqt are candy related. Nice thing it works for a birthday year after year!
Another shot of the bean bags!

Sweet Shoppe Coloring Books...each personalized with the kids name and had pictures of candy and sweet treats to color. Since we had the party at the clubhouse we had this for them to do as all the kids were getting there.

One Day while driving in the car Hailey decided this game. Pin the Cherry on the Cupcake. I thought it turned out so cute!

We also played Sweet Shoppe Bingo..I of course made these and we used jelly beans as the markers. Sorry It's the only picture I got!

Another Close up for the coloring books.

Last the Party Favors. I made this darling little wooden boxes for each of the kids. They were personalized with their names. Included in their take home was: a square bean bag, candy pencil, Candy lip gloss keychains...they matched perfect...sweet shoppe tattoos, stamp, round candy sucker, and gumballs! i loved these boxes and hope the kids will too. Hailey has been dying to get her hands on hers since I made it weeks ago!

And here is a slide show of the party! Thanks for reading this far. Happy Birthday Wed Hailey!
