The Very Hungry Caterpillar is 3 years old!!

Hailey will officially be three years old this Friday, the 15th. However, we had a small family party for her on Sunday. She LOVES to read, so we went with "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" theme. I did not decide on this idea until late Saturday evening, so Jessica and I had our work cut out for us Saturday night and Sunday morning (after Carter's Mountain!). Hailey had a wonderful day and it was nice for our families to get together again. She is one spoiled little girl:) She got lots of toys and a new "clubhouse" (tent) from Aunt Dana and Uncle Rich. Hailey was grateful for everything...her new saying is "Thank you, ..insert name..." She will say thank you for even the littlest things. She also loves to say, "That's my Favorite!!" I think she has lots of favorites after this weekend.
