Happy Birthday Hazel!

June 26th, 2011

It took me two weeks, but I’ve uploaded the photos to flickr and managed to find half an hour to sit down to write this post- miraculous, and necessary, since we will be heading out on a fantastic trip to Denver on Friday and I need the space on the memory card!

Hazel turned 3 two weeks ago and I can still hardly believe it. For some reason two didn’t come as such a surprise, but 3, it’s bigger somehow. Yeah, I know, it’s a full year more than two and all of that, but what I mean is that it feels like she’s really growing up. So fast. We are now in little kid territory, not baby, not even toddler, but kid. Here’s that beautiful kid the morning of her birthday (and yes, I know that kids are baby goats, hush!)

We sang Happy Birthday to Hazel in bed that morning, and then asked her what she wanted for breakfast. Her reply was not too much of a surprise. We had donuts. John was thrilled (his first)…

John and Hazel ate theirs up, and John decided he wanted everyone to have a taste of his donut- he loves to share…

Darn these donuts are good!

A boy after my own heart…

I know, I know it’s Hazel’s birthday, but John was enjoying these donuts SO much… we just had to snap a bunch of pictures… More of the birthday girl coming soon!

Alright, on to the birthday girl… crazy as ever!

Come on, John, you can do it to!

Air guitar???

How old are you, Hazel?

Snack time!

Hazel’s cake:

And I’ll huff…

And I’ll puff…

And I’ll blow my candles out!
