So off to Austin we drove and had a packed 24 hours planned. Hayden has been SO excited about Caitlyn's party for months. Every time we walked into a store she would find the cutest outfit and state we MUST get this for baby Caitlyn. So all I can say is we showed up at the shower with a crazy amount of clothes for this beautiful girl!! The shower was amazing....the hostess' really outdid themselves and planned an amazing afternoon for this family. Plus; us with 2 other families from our group were together and had a wonderful playdate and dinner together afterwards!!! Hayden loves our friends and had SO much fun seeing and playing with everyone.
We wouldn't have missed this for anything!!!
night before when I said we needed to get ready for our trip....this is what Hayden came out of her room dressed in and ready to go!! Check out those mittens!!
Hayden picked this dress weeks ago for the shower....she said it needed to be pink since it was a party for a girl!!!
The mama who will travel soon in the middle with her mom and MIL and sweet friend C and us!!
Caitlyn's mama and Hayden ready to open gifts!!
Our group....Miss C's boys were at home,
Caitlyn's mama, auntie and grandmother as we enjoyed the delicious food.
The hostess' gave all of the kid's the sweetest softest panda bear. Hayden has slept with it since!! What a sweet gift.
One of the cakes(both were delish) and you can see a pic of Caitlyn waiting in China for her mama and daddy to come pick her up!!!
Dinner at C's with M and sweet Drew(who has been home since July and has a big sister from China too)
Drew reminds me so much of Hayden at this age. Drew would like to become one with her mama!! I can see the glimpses of her personality and know once she feels secure and adjusted she will be a social butterfly.
Hayden piggyback riding with one of C's twins.
Hayden with her new boy BFF's O and T! They are twins and from China and are super sweet and such nice manners.
Look at how cute!! Hayden told me today that she missed the warriors!! LOL

Great photos! Oh, how I wished that you lived closer to us. Still, it's only a few short hours between us, and that is a blessing in itself. I think that O is especially smitten with Hayden - look at those grins! We are so thankful for your friendship, sweetie, and look forward to making more memories together over the years. Mmm-mwah!
Great photos and great memories. Thank you so much for making the trip to Austin to celebrate our girl. We have been on a long, long journey together. I can't wait until our girls meet and become friends. I see many trips North on 35 to visit in our future.
That is so wonderful that your friends have hung in there and are finally coming to the end of their long journey. After Lexie, we made the decision to drop out. If we stayed in, we would be almost at 5 years and probably at least another 3 more.
I love all of the pictures of Hayden especially your new one at the top of the blog. She looks so grown up in that one. Always the beauty!!
Such a sweet time!! :) thanks for sharing :)
