Haley Julianna turned the big two this past Friday. To celebrate we barbecued one of her favorite foods (hot dogs), played games, opened presents, and enjoyed cake and ice cream. If I wanted to highlight Haley's true love I should have made a Barney cake, however, I was uncertain of my abilities to pull off a giant purple dinosaur. I resorted to Blue's Clues Cake and was pleased that she seemed really excited to eat a giant blue dog. Really, eating her favorite dinosaur might have been too traumatic, but Blue's place in her heart has not yet been solidified enough to cause her any true anxiety.
Haley J has brought an immeasurable amount of joy to our family. She has a million dollar smile and is our sweetest "trouble maker" yet. Fortunately for her, the million dollar smile frequently pardons her increasingly frequent indiscretions.
