Hazel is 3!

Again, since we just went to Disney World, we didn't plan much else for Hazel's actual birthday.  She really loves parties though and requested pink cupcakes.  How could I say no to that?  So we had a few friends over last minute and ate some ridiculously pink cupcakes (out of the box - shh).  She was thrilled!
Our little princess is quite into anything pink, glittery, princessy, etc.  It's fun to see her develop her likes and dislikes.  She's also very into girl vs. boy things.  So that's why I'm kind of surprised she still prefers James over me... not that it hurts my feelings or anything... =)  Hazel is the sweetest little girl, and she surprises us daily with things she observes and says.  She's also the best big sister I've ever seen.  She loves "Baby" even though he's a boy, and she will protect him at all costs.  She's very loyal to her family.  One memory I will always cherish was at Disney World at the firework show at the Magic Kingdom.  The firework show was called "Wishes" so it highlighted all of the songs or quotes from Disney movies with "wish" in them.  She was on James's shoulders and we didn't even know she was paying attention to the songs.  When the song asked what you wished for, Hazel kept saying, "I wish to be the happiest family!" and "I wish to be a princess!"  Talk about melt our hearts!  We're so blessed to have this special girl.  We love you Princess Hazel!
