Hayden's 8th Birthday Party
Hayden turned 8 on the last day of November! 8 is a party year, so this guy had a Star Wars party like every other boy turning 8 this year. Luckily, there is no shortage of Star Wars party ideas on pinterest, and Hayden was very involved in helping me research and pick out his party activities. The best idea I had was for Dallin to film all the kids in a Star Wars movie trailer. Since my energy has been really low, that was perfect! I got a little breather from all the chaos for a second while I got the dessert ready, and the kids had a blast running around with light sabers and being movie stars. Because of the holiday weekend not very many of his friends were able to come, so we were really glad there were a few who didn't travel for Thanksgiving! We also got to borrow some really cool Star Wars stuff from our friends the Steels who just have cool stuff like life sized Yodas and giant R2D2 drink holders and inflatables for the front porch. Those were pretty exciting.
We love Hayden for his enthusiasm, charisma and commitment to living a full, busy life. He has a fun-loving personality and always has a smile on his face, unless he is reenacting an epic scene from Star Wars or Harry Potter. He loves to challenge himself and try new, difficult things. We love this kid and are so grateful he came to our family.
