Our first day at Disney was also Baileigh's 8th birthday! I think a day in Disney World including a special luncheon with the princesses counts as a fun birthday! We started off the morning by arriving just prior to the Epcot entrance opening...which means the characters were standing there waiting to greet everyone.
Baileigh's "Happy Birthday" got her a little extra attention throughout the day...like meeting Minnie first thing!
Making our trip even more fun and special was the fact that we spent the week with some great AF friends of ours. After a week of living together I'm thankful to report that we're all still friends!
Baileigh and Grace are just 10 days apart and kindred spirits, and
Mckenna and Jackson are about 6 months apart as well as Cole and Brooke. All the kids got along amazingly well and my kids are going through
withdrawl missing the Maddox children.
We ate lunch in "Norway" at Epcot at a princess luncheon.
Cinderella and our gang...how she keeps from getting food smeared on her dress our little sticky
hand prints all over her boggles my mind.
Baileigh got a card signed by all the princesses for her birthday and a special dessert...in case you can't tell by the picture, she was pretty excited!
Baileigh and her buddy , Grace...they were both due October 28, 2001...Grace came 6 days early and
Baileigh was 5 days late. They haven't been able to spend a lot of time together in the past years but whenever they do they seem to pick right up where they left off. They both love to read, and do math problems...I don't think they had any conflict or issues with each other all week, despite being roommates and being together 24/7.
We returned to our rental house that night and had a birthday party...including cake and some swim time in our pool.
Party time...
It was kinda hard to share
Baileigh on her special day, but I'm glad she was having so much fun with friends and being in Disney. I don't usually have to compete for her attention so much, I guess this was good preparation for future birthday celebrations when she is more concerned with her friends then her mommy. Can she just stay 8 forever?!

What a great looking cake! :) Withdrawls from this end as well. Grace just did a dance and sang "I made it onto Melynie's blog."
Talk soon,

I'm so glad you all got to spend the week together! And for Baileigh's birthday, too! Sounds like such a memorable one.
But here's my question - where's the Hall family birthday hat?
