Laura's first snow! (in many years:)

Hazel's first snow!

Hazel had her first New England snowstorm experience. She got to lie in the deep snow while the snowflakes fell on her ;)

Laura meets sweet Hazel !!!

She's perfect!!!!

Hazel is wondering how old she will have to be to fly to Nice to visit Laura.

Auntie Laura meets sweet Hazel for the first time, and can't believe how absolutely adorable little miss twinkle toes is. Laura did not cry however, so

I'm wondering how the 'crying at meeting Hazel' gene skipped over her.

Ryan turns 33!!! Good lord!!
Really, the best place to put little Hazel would be the center of the table, but it wasnt big enough.

Look at how big Daddy and Auntie Laura's hands look next to Hazel!!

Laura and Ryan (the birthday boy)

This is all I need for Christmas!!!
