Hazel's Birthday Party

 Hazel's birthday was a roaring success! Friday morning she woke up to traditional coffee cake and gifts and balloons (balloons that deflated over night and I was real sad about that.)


Then we let June and Hazel skip school, at Hazel's request. WE went to ice cream and then surprised Hazel and took her to the pet store where she got to pick out her own pet betta fish. She was super excited about it!
 
Then that evening we went to her choice of restaurant- Olive Garden, and Buck's family came too. For some reason all I have from that is this photo of me and beautiful Winta.

 

The next day, as if she wasn't spoiled enough, she had a friend birthday party that was arts and crafts themed. 



 

The kids all got to craft and decorate their own party hats first.
 
And then we painted some sun catchers

 
Then they got to paint their own cookies! 
 

 
And for the grand finale, my good friend Laura Lee, who is a professional artist, came and taught the kids how to make a sculpture. They made cats!

 
 And then, of course, we had presents and cake!


Hazel said it was the best birthday ever!

Happy 7th Birthday Hazel!

 Happy Birthday Hazel! 

 We love you so much! Watching you grow up has been nothing but joy filled! We feel so lucky to have you, you're everything we could have ever hoped for. 💖


 Lately you're really into learning. Okay, so you've always been into learning, but you're soaking up so much from 1st grade. You've been learning about the planets, math, different cultures, reading, and music. You've been loving your musical theater class and piano. You also love dance. You come home and tell us word for word what your teachers teach you and it's so fun to see the way your brain works.

You continue to be obsessed with crafts. And not just normal crafts but you love to build and put together anything in your own way. Like instead of using the clipboard that we have, you want to make your own out of cardboard. You're currently making a wrist watch out of felt. A whole fishing pole, fish, fire, pan, and plate out of mere paper, even steam was included for the cooked fish. You created the whole life cycle of an apple seed out of paper too. Every day you come home with new things to make. Golden tickets from Willy Wonka, a trophy you saw on a cooking show- you name it, you're making your own version of it. 


You are still super goofy. You love to tease June. You make the craziest faces and sounds and you love to laugh the loudest. Taking these birthday photos was quite the adventure with you and your rambunctious spirit!

You have a homebody spirit as well, and you like your comforts nearby. It's been very interesting to see how you've always been this way since you were born! 

But you love to have friends and lots of people love you, but sometimes you want to keep to yourself, which is okay too. Your ideal play date is anyone who will do arts and crafts with you all day. You've also got an old soul and sometimes it seems you get along best with adults.  

You're truly one of a kind! I cannot wait to see who you'll become, although there's definitely no rush, either. Stay little a little while more!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAZEL! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
