Happy Birthday Hazey!


This little man is 6!  Here's six reasons we love this guy so much:
  1. He goes for it! I'm not sure whether to call it grit or tenacity, but this kid does not give up very easily.  He tries and he tries again if it doesn't go as planned. 
  2. He is a total goof ball-- whether dancing around with underpants on his head or telling jokes, he loves to laugh and make people laugh around him. 
  3. He is a love bomber.  He's never one to hold back with hugs and kisses and statements of adoration.  Just when I need it the most and am not expecting it, he throws out a kiss or an "I love you, Mom".
  4. He's curious  He surprises me with his great questions about current events or a movie and wondering about how things work.
  5. He's creative.  This may involve a ton of tape and paper scraps or wood and nails, but he loves to make all sorts of inventions and solutions to "problems".
  6. He knows what he wants!  This is a guy who doesn't hold back on letting you know what he prefers or does not like at all. 


Cynthia made Hazey his favorite lemon cake and we spent his special day with the "Fairy Godparents":




He was thrilled  to get a ukelele:


We celebrated as a family by going out to eat at the Jericho Cafe and Tavern.  Hazey has taken to wearing his blazer and tie any time we head out to someone's house for dinner or a restaurant.  He's even been wearing it to school?!?!??!

 To celebrate his special day, Hazey wanted to have a skiing birthday party.  This did limit his invite list to friends that both skied and had a pass at Smuggs, but it worked out really, really well.


He had another delicious lemon cake, this one made by Auntie Cara in the yurt after taking a bunch of runs with a really fun pack of kids.


We love you little man!  Such a great celebration of you.
