Hayden turns the big 1-2!!!

Each time one of my kids has a birthday, I am completely baffled as to how another year has passed.  Last time I turned around, Hayden was graduating from 5th grade and anxiously anticipating middle school and here we are in the final few weeks of sixth grade.  It has for the most part, been a great year and Hayden has truly become a mature pre-teen. 

Rian got up early on Hayden's birthday to set up a "Birthday Queen station" for her.  She put pillows, blankets, a table with her Ipad on it, and a hand-typed spa menu for her to choose the services she wanted Rian to indulge her in.  ( I believe she picked a pedicure and massage!). 


Rian also served Hayden her birthday breakfast which included her favorite donut from The Donut Haas along with a banana.

Here is the birthday girl with her homemade crown from Rian.  Wow, I wish I had a sister so sweet! 
 
Hayden decided she would like to go rock climbing with a few friends to help celebrate her birthday.  Everyone met at Inner Strength rock climbing gym in Fort Collins to get their climb on! 

Sarah reached the top of her first climb, no problem!

Katie did equally well.

Hayden has always been somewhat of a monkey, and enjoyed challenging herself on some of the harder routes to the top.

That girl can climb!

Rian did great on her climbs too!


After climbing time was over we headed to TCBY for a well-earned treat.

 

According to Rian's face, picking out toppings is very serious business!

 

 

Still just a silly kid at heart.

 
 

At home that night, we celebrated with a cake Hayden baked and decorated completely on her own.  Happy Birthday sweet girl!!!xo
