My niece Haylee turns 7 in a couple of days, so we had her birthday party at Grandmas this weekend. This is another "holy crap! when did she get so old" feeling for me! My kids are getting big, and now Haylee baby is going into 2nd grade!!
When she was opening presents, my uncle went to open the door to go outside, but we were standing in the way of the door watching her open presents. He said excuse me, and as he did that, he put his hands together and then pulled them apart, and it me laugh because it looked like he was motioning like he was parting water like Jesus. He didnt mean to do that, but it just looked funny to me. So I said, "Oh it looks like he's parting water again like Jesus." So when I said that I glanced over at Andy, who satred at me with a really funny look on his face like he was waiting to hear more. So I told Lynn to look at him becasue he perked up at that word, and was waiting for more. Then Haylee goes, "So, Andy, tell me about Jesus." I laughed my ass off. It is just way funnier if you know my family, because they are anything but religious. I think the last time they were in a church was at our wedding- or maybe when we got the kids baptised.
So when Halyee was opening her presents, she reminded me of a little girl who belongs on Disney channel. She has the brightest twinkle in her eyes and she LOVED the spotlight of opening her presents. She stood up on her chair and she was singing, and dancing and entertaining everyone with her Hanna Montanna moves and silly faces. So here she is...Little Miss Haylee...
I love you honey- Happy almost birthday :)
She's 7?!?!?!? Holy cow! I can remember you calling me when you found out you were going to be an auntie! I can't believe that was 7 years ago!
ReplyDeleteShe's a doll!
No kidding, huh? I always thought people were just exaggerating when they would comment on us kids getting older and how old it made them feel. Now that I am one of those adults commenting on how old the new round of kids is getting makes me realize they werent joking!
ReplyDeleteHaylee is a little sweetie pie. I remember myself being that age and I seriously cant believe our kids are that age...sometimes I stlil feel like the kid!! Have you heard that saying somewhere? Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional. Thats me- I dont think I will ever really feel like an adult- but I am fine with that. It's more fun this way. I am still responsible- but I can have fun. Its great :)
