Disney

Truly a magical week at Disney!

Max and Cate

Max's new best friend is Cate. He follows her around like a shadow and just loves her. She is super sweet to him! She reads to him everynight before bed and hunts for possums with him. I am not sure what he is going to do without her when we leave tomorrow!

Hazel Week

It's every little boy's dream here at the Hazels this week. Max zoomed cars down the ramp and then the workers showed up to rip out and reconstruct a hallway into a ramp(destruction!) and a back hoe showed up outside to dig a big hole for an elevator(Big Trucks!) Today the concrete truck came to pour the foundation! All that on top of the fact the Raleigh, Lucy, MaryRose, John and Cate are perfectly happy to drop everything to play and wrestle! It's a vacation for me too because these amazing kids do all the dishes! We are having so much fun and just love being here. Although it is really not slowing him down too much, Max was diaognosed with transient synovitis which is basically an infection in his hip which is causing him to limp. No treatment but Motrin and rest(Ha!)

More Christmas Pics

We have had a great week with The Magros, Mary, The Tally 4 Z's, and the Saunders. We had Christmas day in Culpeper, went to the Children's Museum, and spent another fun afternoon in Culpeper. It is good to be with family.

Culpeper Christmas

We've had a wonderful time-the pics say it all.

The Wedding

Lee's cousin Pam married Ryan on Dec 22. We made a trip to Pittsburgh for the wedding and had a wonderful visit with Lee's family. Max was a ringbearer in the wedding along with Adam and Jillian was the flower girl. Max was too cute in his little tux. We even managed to surprise Lee and his mom with a graduation party as both just finished their masters.

Deck the Halls

We have had a fun time getting ready for Christmas. Max has really enjoyed decorating, singing carols both real and the ones he makes up, and talking about his friend Baby Jesus. We actually saw the whole Fredericksburg Christmas parade this year and Max loved decorating the gingerbread house. We are ready for Christmas and just need a little snow to complete the package!
