Hailey's Princess Tea

 One of Hailey's Christmas Presents this year was a ticket to attend a "Princess Tea".  Chayce, Paige, and Morgan were able to attend as well!  Here's all the girls meeting a princess and waiting for the party to start!


 This event was a fundraiser for the Family Resource Center in our area, and I was so excited when I found out they would be holding this!  Hailey loves princesses!  She was able to meet a bunch of them and get their autographs!




 There were a couple games or activities set up by each of the princess stations.  This one is Fishing for Ariels station.



 They served a light little luncheon...



 And then they turned on music and the princesses and princes danced with the girls!  It was so fun to watch the little girls admire those beautiful princesses!


 Hailey and Morgan dancing...



This was so much fun and we can't wait to go next year!

Sledding and Dinner with the Abbotts!



 Our dear friends Barbara and John invited us over for dinner and sledding this past week.  They live right smack dab against the mountain, so we walked out their back door, and went looking for good sledding spots! 

 I think their sweet dog Star had as much fun as the kids!  She would race up the hill with us, and then race down trying to beat us every time!

 Hailey got the royal treatment with Bryan and John pulling her up the mountain...

 Just Us...



 I love this lady!  Such an inspiration who spends her days serving others!


After sledding for a bit, we headed inside where their son Ian and his friend Kat joined us for dinner. Hailey asked us before we left for their house if she could bring her teacups so she could have a tea party with "John, his wife, and his son" as she put it!  So while we got dinner ready, we enjoyed hot cocoa with Hailey. After dinner we watched How To Train Your Dragon. Such a fun evening with great friends, thanks Abbott Family!

A sweet moment with Star and Hailey as we were getting dinner on the table...
