Hadley is 3!

The past week has been a lot of fun.  It started last Friday with a surprise 70th birthday party for Butch.  Uncle Dave came in for the party too.  Then we had Hadley's 3rd birthday party on Saturday.  It was at the place she is playing soccer at.  They have four large inflatable slides/bounce houses and the soccer field.  Everyone had so much fun bouncing that no one even ventured near the soccer field.  It was a really fun party.  Sunday, I took the kids to the Butterfly house while Jim worked on the basement.  We also went to Steak n Shake with Poppy and PaPa.  Monday evening it snowed and we were able to go sledding.  The girls loved it and would giggle the whole time they were going down the hill.  Then Tuesday was Hadley's real birthday.   Tommy stayed home with Jim's parents and we took the girls out to dinner before dance.  It was watch week at dance so then Jim and I both watched the girls.  Thursday night the girls had a sleepover with PaPa and Poppy.  Today was Hadley's soccer, Madeleine's ice skating and Madeleine went to a birthday party.  

It is hard to believe Hadley is already 3.  She loves to play dress up and baby.  Pretty much as soon as she gets up every morning she wants to put on a costume and pretend she is a baby or take care of her babies. She loves dancing around the house and snuggling.  She is definitely a Daddy's girl.

Tommy was the only one who played soccer at the party.  I can't believe what a big boy he looks like in this picture.  He is close to being mobile and I think he is really going to be a handful once he crawls.
