HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY HALI BUG!
I can't believe Hali is 7 this year. It seems like such a big number! She is definitely not a little girl anymore. She is a BIG first grader and seems to learn something new each and every day. She reads very well and excels at math, and art. Hali is a great child. She can play for hours in her room all by herself. She has even been known to stay up and play when you think she is asleep!! Hali is a great artist and is constantly coloring, making things, or "redecorating" her room. Grandma Kathy insists she will be an interior designer when she grows up! Hali also is very tender hearted like her mommy... poor girl! The other day Lexi was bothering Hali (like always) and Hali came in my room crying to tell me, "Mom Lexi was bugging me and I had to hit her to let go of me, I'm sorry." I totally love this about her, but sometimes I honestly wish she would just be a little tougher. I love this beautiful little girl and am so happy she came into my life when she did!
Hali absolutely loved the movie Tangled and decided that was the theme she wanted for her birthday party.
Cousin hugs are the best!
Hali got a million presents like always, but her favorite was her Rapunzel tower! Alexis was also super excited when Hali opened the tower and started jumping up and down screaming, "WE got the tower, WE got the tower"! Good thing Hali is a good sharer!
Gage was a good big brother and helped put the tower together.
Gage also gave Hali a little walrus. It was so cute because he had told her several weeks ago thats what he was going to get her when we were talking about her birthday. It is hilarious that he remembered this conversation and even found a walrus to give her!

This is a picture of the inside of the Rapunzel tower that Hali took. The girls have been having a ton of fun with this. If you haven't seen the movie Tangled you should, it was really cute.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HALI ANNETTE SALERNO! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD!!
