Hazel turned 8 back in June 15th and I think she has been finding ways to celebrate ever since. While she requested a favorite dinner and gifts galore, the most exciting part was her party. She wanted a party with animals so we found a place that would bring the petting zoo to her! Yes, I lost my mom mind and let them bring 15 small animals including a few snakes into my living room. Bah!! All the kids loved it although Nana hid when the snakes were out.
Zach stepped up and got excited about making his little sister a cake in the shape of a caterpillar. When he gets excited about cooking/baking it is really fun to watch. And Hazel loved it!
Hazel is her very own person! She’s only 8 but she makes it very clear what she likes and doesn’t like. She is strong, funny, and makes sure her voice is heard in our family. Hazel loves animals, playing with her neighbor friends, getting sucked into games on the iPad, swimming, arts and crafts, decorating, and she could eat spaghetti everyday. We love her so much! The boys show their love in interesting ways but I’m pretty sure they adore their little sister (at least we hope they do or will at some point).
Now that we are in NC, the annual painting of the spirit rock is a birthday tradition at the elementary school. This year I enlisted the whole Team La Vigne (minus Hazel) to help out. It turned out great and is still up as of a couple days ago!
We love you Hazel and hope that eight is great!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAZEL MAC!!
