Dinner Party

Hazel hosting her first dinner party of 2011 with her friend, Kate. They dined on guacamole and chips and then had burritos, Hazel's favorite! Kate is a sweetie, she was a lot of fun to have over!

Children's Museum

Thanks to Uncles Billy and Tom, Hazel has a membership to the Children's Museum in Portland which she loves. Lots of things to do there and it is dry and warm (a huge plus for me!!!).

Crazy Hazy and Lucy

w

Just some silliness on the couch with her "little sister" Lucy . Wanted to get picture of her with her "up-do" in place but she is a hard one to pin down, even sitting.

New Year's Eve 2010

Just a couple of crazy ladies whoopin' it up on New Year's Eve eating Vodoo donuts, drawing with glitter glue, wearing tiaras! Hazie and I celebrated early with Auntie Karen (Zoey was in Peru with her Daddy for holidays) and Auntie Kathie toasting the New Year at 9 o'clock our time, midnight in Peru. The ladies left and Hazie was still up celebrating at 11!

Little Bird

We have been letting Hazel watch music videos on you tube. One of her favorites is Little Bird by Elizabeth Mitchell where the kids dance around with bird wings. So we crafted up a set for her. This was her first flight with them.

And of course you can't expect a bird to fly without it's flock. Lucy and Andara, both have wings!

Ho Ho HO!

Ahhh, Christmas morning. Hazel was so excited to find that Santa ate the cookies she left for him and that his reindeer ate the carrot too. She also didn't miss the extra present under the tree that Santa left for her!

Clever Auntie Karen and Zoey...we have been having fun dressing up the lady at meal time...even if she doesn' t fall for it and eat up her food, we are having fun fixing up the plate!

Ho Ho Ho

Hazel was a good Santa's Helper, passing out presents to others. She was almost more excited to give them to Grammy and Auntie Donna than open her own....almost.

We entered the world of princesses! So Auntie Donna (0f course!) started her on her way with two beautiful dresses.

The wonderful chaos of cramming the family into our little house. Not enough words to express how great it was to have it under our roof. Just want more of it!!!
