Hazel's pre-birthday bash

Helping out

Hazel turned four years old Thursday. In order to fit in all our celebrations, we had to get an early start. Tuesday, we had a party for her at her school.


I wanted to go to the party, so Mom picked me up early from school so I could go along. I am glad I was able to make it! We took lots of yummy food because it was a pizza party.

Turner helped too

After singing a song that settled all the kids down and signaled that it was time to eat, we started out with pizza, apple sauce and juice boxes. The grand finale was cone cakes, cupcakes Mom baked inside ice cream cones, so it looked like ice cream, but really it was cake!

Hazel and I helped make the cone cakes Monday. Turner helped by stealing one after we made them. He was sweet about it -- he was happy to share with Hazel and me. And it helped Mom by letting her know they cooked properly, the whole way through.

Party time

Everyone liked the yummy cone cakes. Hazel liked that they were pink and had Hello Kitty on top. She really liked being the center of attention. Mom thought Hazel looked like she was radiating sunshine from her head because she was so happy, when the class sang happy birthday to her.

We had a great time. It was a simple but fun party, and a good way to kick off Hazel's fourth birthday.
