Hattie is FIVE!

Hattie is five!!!  We had a GREAT time celebrating her with our family and friends at the University Park pool, and her party was actually ON her birthday!  What fun!

The water slide was a huge hit!

Georgia's favorite part of the party wasn't the swimming...it was playing with this empty water bottle!

Gramma and Poppa SURPRISED Hattie with a special trip to Northpark to Build-A-Bear!

She came home with Pinky Pie :)

Then on the Monday after her birthday, we got to celebrate with Mia and Aubrey in her kindergarten class...all three girls had August birthdays!

Hattie's best friend (after just three days) is Allie!  Never mind the fact that these two had to be permanently separated by the fifth day of school...they just enjoy talking to each other too much!  Ahhh, Hattie is so much like her mother!

Ahhhhh, the joys of the 5-year-check-up!  I know it's hard to imagine, but she was singing when I took this picture. ;)

Hattie Sallee, we are so proud of the beautiful young lady you have become.  Your huge heart, imagination, and spirit make you such a joy in our lives!  We are so thankful God gave you to us on August 23, 2009!
