Happy 2nd Birthday Hazel Lee!!

You turned two- just like that you entered a new year. You awoke happy and joyful about the milestone. Mommy and daddy entered your room singing happy birthday to you and you smiled and clapped. We all went to the living room to open your presents- a tag reader with a few books. I think you liked the 3 balloons the best though : )
We put you into your party clothes and we all went to school to drop you off (after which mommy and Dottie went to grams and papa's to make your birthday party shirts and wish papa a happy birthday).
At 3:30 I joined daddy back at your school for a party with your classmates- your teachers did a great job decorating! We brought you home, played a bit (watched election results) then had tutta bella pizza and strawberry ice cream. Yum! We tucked you in and wished you a wonderful night's sleep.
Each day I love you more then the previous day. Each day I see all of your potential coming out. Each day I am thankful for you being in my life and making it meaningful. No matter how our future unfolds, remember that I will always love you like the first day I put my eyes on you. Know that I will always be on your side and that you are so important to me. You are my little spitfire, a spirit to reckon with and one of the love's of my life (along with daddy and Dottie).
xoxox Happy Birthday Hazel!
Love,
mommy
