Adelaide is 9!

October 1, 2017 by Emily Kilpatrick Leave a Comment

For Adelaide’s ninth birthday, we had a wild animal party with her friends.

There was (pretty awesome) face painting.
Adelaide and I made an ice cream cake at her request. We used this recipe. She wanted it to look like a bear face, but I didn’t feel good about cutting up a bear face (plus, I wasn’t sure if I could make it look like a bear and not a round-faced cat). So I convinced her to make it a safari cake instead.Here’s a rare sighting of me. The candles were hard to light.My wild bunch. Happy birthday to yooooou…Make a wish!Now everybody grab a tiny animal. Present time!A doll gardening set from Soren (she’s the giraffe behind the box).
A DIY journal kit from Sophie.
Camping Legos from Preston.Sidewalk chalk and sprinkler fun from Emma and Shyloh (not pictured, since they had to go to a soccer game).
A ballet bag, sweater and book from cousin (and fellow ballerina) Elizabeth.Fun markers and art supplies from Ruby. And Adelaide acting like a monkey.Then they did cool kid stuff like sitting on walls.Happy birthday, Adelaide! Hope this year is the best yet.
And a big shout-out to Aunt Megan for the pictures!

Hazel is 3!

September 15, 2017 by Emily Kilpatrick Leave a Comment

Hazel turned 3 today! Let’s see, what can we say about Hazel? Hazel likes:

  • Riding her bike
  • Wearing her bike helmet
  • Playing with Augie
  • Fighting with Augie
  • Stealing Augie’s Beanie Babies
  • Eating yogurt, broccoli, and Honey Nut Cheerios (not together)
  • Watching Peppa Pig and Minnie Mouse
  • Making messes and cleaning up
  • Reading books like Tubby, Yes, Yes No, No and Go, Dog. Go!
  • Giving eskimo kisses and saying “mugga mugga”
  • Bathtime
  • Curling up in a chair and falling asleep

Words that describe Hazel:

  • Affectionate – she loves to cuddle
  • Independent – she prefers to do things on her own
  • Smart – she’s picking up new words and activities every day
  • Small – at 30% for height and weight, she’s our littlest love
  • Brave – ready or not, she jumps into your arms without fear

She’s pretty great, even though she acts like a threenager sometimes.

Happy 3rd birthday, Adelaide!

Here’s some pictures from our errand running today. Everyone fussed over your huge frilly skirt, and you did lots of twirling and curtsying.

Adelaide went to her first birthday party last weekend! Our friend Henry turned 3. Adelaide’s favorite part was jumping in the bounce house. Eating cupcakes was a close second. She’s still talking about it!
