The one thing Hazel requested for her 5th birthday was to go to Chuck-E-Cheese. Her wish was granted on the Saturday before her birthday. James joined us, and we played lots and lots of games, especially basketball because both Grayson and Hazel loved it.
She also loved making these cards that have her picture on them.
Her actual birthday was on Tuesday, so we had pancakes for breakfast and sent her off to preschool!
Hazel LOVES her cousins, so it was perfect that they came by for a visit on her special day! They gave her a watch and plenty of pictures, which she loves.
For dinner she chose Chick-fil-A, so we met the Thompsons there that night. She chose her birthday cake the day before, so I made her a double layer lemon cake with lemon curd and cream cheese icing. It was too tart for Daddy, but Hazel and I loved it! Our family is blessed with the sweetest 5 year old girl there ever was. She's creative, sensitive, a great friend, happy, smart, affectionate, and beautiful inside and out. Some of her "things" right now include: creating hideouts around the house; making us bend over for kisses and hugs; coloring something new everyday; singing and making up her own songs; riding her balance bike; creating something out of nothing (like my recycling items); watching Paw Patrol, Bubble Guppies, and Umizoomi; saying, "You're the best Mommy (or Daddy) a child could have!"; doing chores for Mommy for coins or just to help; negotiating deals; and playing with cousins and friends. She's also the best big sister ever.
We love this birthday girl SO much!!!
