since we traveled home on hazel's birthday
we celebrated her birthday on monday, memorial day
which is fairly fitting since 10 years ago she was born on memorial day
she chose a paris themed birthday
which was fun to put together
we brought some of the cookies back from paris
i had gathered all these decorations before we left so it was easy to put together that day
of course we had to include macarons, baguettes and french berry lemonade
she invited about 10 friends and they had fun painting their nails
she opened presents
we sang to her
and she had a really good time
the shirt she is wearing says i love paris
we gave her friends eiffel tower key chains and cookies and candy we brought back with us
we took the kids to the pool after her party
and jude decided he hates going in the water (maybe it's too cold?)
but accidentally fell in (with his life jacket on) so i got to go swimming
fully clothed and with shoes on
luckily it was just the little pool but my whole bottom half was soaked through
and he was pretty sad it had happened
we took the family to red robin for a birthday dinner/thank you to michael's parents
noah must be growing, he ate an entire adult burger and fries by himself!
hazel's birthday present was a new bike
she loves it!
happy birthday to our sweet hazel
she is smart and mature and kind and helpful
and self motivated and so easy to parent
i can't wait to see what she does in life because with her determination the sky is the limit
we are so proud of her
happy birthday, hazel!
