Birthday brunch

First, Haley was elated to receive an Elsa night gown from Mimi and Poppie for her birthday!

Yay, books!

 The girls had a great time today celebrating with a special brunch for Grandma Julie's upcoming birthday.  We brought crafts to keep them busy.

 Aunt Stephanie is in town!!!

 Happy (early) birthday Julie!

A magical birthday party

Queen Elsa was ready for a magical birthday.


First Haley and Mimi read books.


Stephie played her new favorite, Monopoly Empire.












Pre-party Bendaroos.





And tattoos, of course.


Ready for the show!


Haley was an excellent artist assistant.





Stephie and Connor did a great job too.





Finally, time for cake!


Yum.


A great day!

Little dancer

Haley improvised this headband out of a ribbon from a present.  It happened to match her eyes exactly.

"Roooooaaaarrr!  I'm a tiger!"

 "Check out my dancing!"

 "I want a braid like Elsa and Anna."  For 30 seconds.

 Finally, pizza night!
