Dress Up Week at Daycare

This week Haley's daycare had a theme for each day to have fun with the kids. Haley gets the award for 100% participation and making the best of each situation.

Monday was Hat Day and Haley decided to wear her sun hat for the day.
Tuesday was Class Colors Day-their class color was yellow so she wore her Berry Farm onesie to celebrate.
Wednesday was Clashing Clothes Day-Haley won the award for worst matched clothes for sure!
Thursday was Pajama Day/Teacher Appreciation Day. Haley wore her house coat and owl pj's that day. As you can see in the photo, obviously the pj's were making her not want to wake up so she had her "serious" look for this photo. I also made a homemade cheese dip and a selection of breads for the teacher appreciation luncheon that was held. Everyone loved the dip so I was really proud that I impressed all those women with my culinary skills! :)
Friday was Crazy Hair Day. The class teachers thought that Haley could not participate since she does not have hair, but boy did we prove them wrong! Everyone thought it was so funny when she showed up with her little wig on! We also took the teachers a small bouquet of roses from the yard to thank them for doing such a great job with Haley.

It sure was a "hoppy" Easter this year!

We had so much fun taking Haley's Easter pictures this year. My really good friend Blane took them for us and he did a wonderful job. The photo shoot was complete with live chicks and a baby duck too! The look on her face when she saw that baby duck was priceless. I decided to design a collage of the photos to share but also wanted you all to see some of the individual shots as well. We worked really hard to coordinate our outfits for the day. Haley behaved at church Sunday and earned the award for the best baby in the room. She admired Grandma Parsons' cheesy potatoes and whispered to me that she couldn't wait to dig into those when she starts on solid foods! Mema came up on Sunday night and spent a couple of days also. It was great to see my mom and she was so happy to meet the teachers at Haley's daycare as well. Haley even made plastic eggs filled with candy for her Grandma and Grandpa, Mema and Papa, and each of her teachers at school!
Get Outta Here Little Chickadees!
We got one good family photo of Haley awake before she passed out for the duration of the photos. We were so proud of her though that she held up as well as she did!

Haley loved the plastic eggs we had as props for the photos.
Come Here Mr. Duckie...

It was a wonderful year and we had so much to be thankful for and reflect on this Easter.
