We had a morning playground playdate with Lucius and Carolyn!
Hazel improved her walking-on-snow skills tenfold
Couple of cuties
The slide was all clear
Flower head
An after playground slurp
Goofing with Supey
Milk mustache
Hazel likes to build stairs out of blocks (with help)
And space rangers like to fly
And there’s plenty of time for a cuddle
And reminiscing with old (and new) friends
Happy 5th birthday Cousin Ov!
Ov’s balloons were amazing
And wonderous
Literally a big hit
Hazel the citrus inspector
Matching smiles
Gaggle of Cains
Some independent play
Midmorning snack
Littlest train engineer
Cousins monster trucking together
More of Oliver and Hazel playing together
“Umple Ben” is a great car ramp companion
Studying Auntie Marika while she reads (Here’s this same trio last year)
Being silly in the cat’s basket
Dancing silhouettes
White Christmas wonderment
Up with Supe
Up with Mommy
Sadly none of these pictures shows her highly effective snowboots
This year’s Christmas video chat
“Biiiiike”
Hazel’s Sri Lankan elephant sees its first white Christmas out the window
Taking her new wheels for a spin
Opening presents
Hazel sandwich
Hazel and Mommy
Dino train
Playing train with Uncle Had
Excitedly demonstrating her fork cutting aspirations
Hazel has to inspect the hinge-necked loon at least once a day
Giggles with Gamp
Here’s a good spot for a dinosaur
Little Woody sat in big Woody’s lap to listen to a story
Winter snuggles
Does that look comfortable?
Carrots in a line
