Pinkalicious Party

Hallie turns 3 on October 27th, so we celebrated her birthday a week early with all the family and had a fun Pinkalicious party for her. We are so blessed to have her as our princess in the family! 

A few things Hallie is doing these days:
* Such a little princess! Always playing dress up and wanting new princess attire.
*GREAT creativity - she is hilarious with her creativity, wanting to name our new baby "Spiderman" if it's a boy, and "Strawberry Shortcake" if it's a girl.
*Has a smile that lights up the room!
*Some of the best silly facial expressions!
*Such a smart girl. Unfortunately, we haven't spent nearly as much time with her on letters, numbers, and other things like we did with Caleb, but she has picked things up by herself and knows all her letters, shapes, colors, most numbers, and can speak very clearly, even conjugating verbs properly (such as "I like" vs. "He likes").
*She has such a strong opinion. We decided to let her pick out a special party dress for her party... and it literally took all day and multiple stores to find the perfect one she was happy with, even though there were MANY options that were super cute at every store. She knew what she wanted and wouldn't settle for less. At her party, she broke down in tears. We thought she got hurt, but it was because three gems fell off her new dress. She LOVES her clothes!
*Loves her big brother Caleb and always wants him to be part of her play time. She is always hugging and cuddling him. He is such a good example for her and she looks up to him so much!
*Drama queen to the extreme...we have a thirteen year-old in a three year-old's body. It is fun though because she has opinions on things I never expected her to care about yet.
*Loves her long beautiful locks. Her hair is to the bottom of her back and is so pretty. Every morning, she picks how she wants to style it for the day. Lately, she has loved letting it go without any ponytails or bows. When I ask her if we can do something to it, she replies with, "But I love it this way, it's beautiful!"
Hallie is full of energy and love, and is such a joy in our lives. She makes us crazy and smile everyday. We love her SO much!
