celebration.

We had such fun celebrating with our friends and family today!  Thanks to all for the wonderful birthday wishes and joining us both in person and online for bean's special day!

birthday dinner.

To celebrate Hazel's first birthday we took a family trip to Ella's Deli for dinner.  This restaurant is one of a kind and is just full of things to look at.  From the floor, to the tables, to the ceiling, things were moving everywhere.  Hazel was mesmerized by all the activity and it was by far the quietest dinner to date. 

Cutest kids meal ever!

Completely mesmerized!

maddie.

Thanks Mimi and Grandpa for a wonderful time at the beach!  Hazel had such fun...cuddling with the "dog-dee" and playing with her cousin Maddie.  Maddie or as Mimi calls her, "bright eyes" is such a sweet baby.  Just full of giggles and smiles!

Checking on Maddie.

the great outdoors.

Hazel and I enjoyed the great weather today with a walk in the conservancy.  We just love living down the street from this beautiful oasis.
