First Snow of Winter

We finally had some snow that stuck to the ground last night. It started to rain so we had to get out fast to play before it melted away. As cold as my bones always feel it is fun to live where there is some real seasons.

Cupcakes

Daddy gave Hazie and Mommy cupcake kit for christmas, so...of course we made some yummy chocolate cakes frosted with peppermint icing. Hazie's favorite part? yup you guessed it....the frosting!

Sledding

Hazel had a gas sledding down the bunniest of bunny slopes!

Watch out, she is armed and dangerous with a big, very big snow ball. Good thing her aim is that of a 3 year old.

Snow Bunny

We decided to take advantage of our good weather and took Hazel to the snow. She had a ball.

Making snow angels.

Christmas Morning

Our tree, Hazel picked a big one. It almost didn't fit in the house!

All the stockings were hung...on the wall with care...in hopes that St Nick would soon be there.

Yeah! The festivities start...opening presents.

Christmas Morning

Flying high on cinnamon sticky buns! Yummy!

Hazel and her new Raggedy Andy doll. Auntie Carol and Uncle Bob sent her both Raggedy's: Ann and Andy and some books of the adventures. Hazel has been having fun reading about them.

Pippi (Hazel's favorite imaginary friend) sent her her very own Pippi smock. She was very jazzed.

Hazie got her Daddy a glockenspiel for Christmas, so they busted it out and played some beautiful music. It has a very gentle sound...phewww!

Christmas Morning

Checking out what Santa put in her stocking .

Gawd, can't get enough of that smile!
Pure joy on Christmas morning.

Each of her babies have there own stockings and they each had asked Santa for a little something. Hazel helped each of them look in their stockings to see what they rec'd. Lusanne, got her "la-la" shaker that she wished for from Santa.

All the girls with their stocking goodies.

Christmas Dancing with JoJo

These two were little ballerinas most of Christmas afternoon. Jo Jo found them matching dance outfits and they put on the Nutcracker and started going. Loved listening to them laugh and play.

Our Little Dancer

Hazel has been taking a dance class for a couple months and she seems to have fun with it. She at least likes to dress up for class in her dance suit and ballet shoes.

Hazel and Hazle getting down.

Dance!

Hazel having the best time running around, dancing, looking at herself in the mirror!

Balance Beam

Okay, have to brag a little. Hazel was the only one in her class that could walk the beam without help! Yippeee...she didn't get my clumsiness!

Hazie Hip Hop

This is a "dance" they learned at class. Haze did pretty good at following along. She definitely seems to like the free form dancing best.

Dancing Cousins

Hazel has soo much fun with JoJo and Nate. On Christmas all they wanted to do was dance.

Dancing Queens

Hazel and JoJo dancing around on Xmas Day. They did this until they were both dizzy and tired.
