Hazel’s First Birthday!
Today was a big day for us. Hazel turned one and we had a fantastic birthday- she had friends over at Omi’s house, and got to play, dance, run and eat cake and icecream all afternoon. Our girl was fantastic today- she had to get up early to go to campus with us where she got to spend the morning in the clinic while I defended my dissertation (successfully!!).
Here I am with my committee after getting the good news!
After that we all headed to lunch at Sal’s (the same restaurant where we celebrated our rehearsal dinner four years ago).
Lunch was fabulous and we had great company. We headed back to Yorktown to try and give Hazel the chance for a little nap before her big birthday party. She slept on the drive home, but didn’t really nap much all afternoon. Considering that she hardly slept at all today she was an absolute doll!
Hazel had not one, not two, no, not even just three birthday cakes, she had FOUR! Talk about a loved little girl!
Did I mention she wore a birthday tutu?
Four generations!
Let’s eat this cake!
Cake and Cheerios- a winning combination.
We had a GOOD time!
After cake it was time for more fun- this time with no shirt (the cake got a little messy)
Time for presents!
Then Hazel’s new friend fed her icecream. This was possibly the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.
It’s pretty clear a great day was had by all! Thanks for all the well-wishes today!
