All Dressed Up

We went to see Jen get married and Hazel was pretty close to stealing the lime light from the bride!  She wore her very fancy dress and had her hair in a up-do! She had a blast with her cousins eating, drinking, and dancing!

Fireworks Fantastic!

No Fourth of July is complete without some home done fireworks if you are Hazel.  She invited her friend Coleman from across the street to help us with the fun.  This picture really shows the two sides of fireworks...Hazel found them noisy, ears plugged while Coleman has his hands on his cheeks in awe!!  They play so nice together, glad they moved into the neighborhood.  Fingers crossed they get into the same kindergarten class.

Look Mom, No Training Wheels

Mark today on the calendar!  Hazel took her first ride without training wheels and is now ready for the Tour de France.  Do we still have time to get her over to France??   
Amazing.  Now a few words from the bicycle princess herself....

Mother's Day Tea

For Mother's Day Hazel's Pre-K class put on a show for their Mom's.  They sang us lots of beautiful songs that they had learned and practiced.  They also made us lovely necklaces and then served us treats.  It was wonderful!

Hazel's Pippi BIrthday Party

 The birthday party partakers!  Great group of kids and lots of fun!

 Playing pin the braid on Pippi.  And we thought Pippi had some crazy hair before!!!

 Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Pippi, oooppss, I mean Hazel, Happy Birthday to you!

 Running off some of the sugar!!

 The effects of sugar-crazy dance party!

 It is not a party without a Pinata!  This year, we beat "Old Man", Pippi's horse.  When they were done with it , all that was left was the head. 

 Reading to her girls-Lusanne, Lucy, and Andara.

 Symphony storytime in February, percussion week.  Had fun listing to the stories with different percussion accompaniment.
