Haley turned 5 yesterday! Our baby! We began celebrating the night before (the 18th). We were at the mall and we let her create her own puppy at Build-a-Bear. The first picture is of her getting her puppy stuffed. While she was stuffing her puppy Santa came up behind her. Ok, Ok...I know what you're thinking....Santa in March. But it REALLY was Santa. (or at least the santa that visits our mall) He was in "street clothes" and said that he was just down here making sure that kids were acting good after Christmas. He chatted with Haley and wished her happy birthday! Now I hate to admit this, especially since my sister will laugh and laugh but as soon as I pulled out my camera to take a picture of Santa with Haley MY CAMERA BATTERY DIED!!! Leah is ALWAYS teasing me about this. There is a commercial where a guy is getting ready to take a picture of a UFO and his camera battery dies. That is SOOOO me! So...I have no picture of Santa with Haley. (Leah, you can pick yourself up off the floor now!) My problem is this...I always keep my camera in my purse, so I always have it with me but...then I have a hard time remembering to recharge it! Ok-enough on that. Haley had a great time picking out her puppy-"Princess", she picked out a cute dress and purse to complete Princess' look. While she wasn't looking I bought her a Little Mermaid outfit for Princess, L.M. is her favorite movie. It comes complete with a red wig. Very cute. Jeff also bought her a "Beararmoire". An armoire for all her Build-a-Bear clothes. That was the main thing that she wanted for her birthday. When she opened it she was very excited.Haley was awakened on her birthday (the 19th) to breakfast in bed from her sisters. (2nd pic) It was complete with toast, scrambled eggs and yogurt. I think she took about 2 bites. In the 4th picture she is helping mix the white and choc. cake mix to marble it. And the 5th pic. is the final cake. We went to the Par-Tee Zone with some of her friends. It's a place where they have all those climbing tubes type things. We had her party there. It was so nice to not have it at the house. They had a great time. We drove all the girls home and Haley spent the rest of the evening playing with all her new toys. All in all it was a great day for our Princess Haley.

Why am I not so surprised?!! You crack me up! Didn't we just go to Wal-mart and search out that camera battery... and if I remember right it came in a package of TWO... What? Oh that's right, you thought it would be good to have a BACK-UP!
Here is my idea to save the missed photo opportunity... contact the store manager and ask to see their security video... perhaps you can capture Santa that way!
