Donut Day and Helicopters!

Yesterday we were at our annual Donut Day. My husband's side of the family gets together every year to eat homemade donuts and spend the day together. This has been a Chauvette tradition for years! It started years ago when Darryl was a little boy and his Memere made donuts for everyone. His Memere passed away years ago, but the tradition has continued. His aunt has been making the donuts now and they are delicious! After donuts were eaten, his uncle (who is a helicopter pilot) started to give rides in his own backyard. It was the first time that I had ever been in a helicopter. Darryl, Hayleigh and I had a nice ride overlooking the gorgeous foliage in NH! And I did not have my camera. :( Figures, when I needed it the most, it was at school. My MIL did manage to take a few photos. We had a great time and I want to go up again someday!

Hayleigh's FOUR!

Hayleigh turned 4 yesterday and it seemed like yesterday that she entered the world at 10 pounds 15-1/2 ounces~AKA Moose Hicks! She has been our little Chunky Monkey (now just Monkey) ever since she was born and she has brought so much joy to our lives! She is so loving, funny, full of compliments, and just a happy little girl! Hayleigh has her moments, but I am SO blessed to be her mom and to have her as my daughter!

We celebrated her birthday early (this past weekend) with family coming over for a Princess party. She loves all the Disney Princesses and she had a great time! She wanted to play a few games. Pass the Wand, Musical Chairs, and a Place Cinderella in the Window blindfold game. She picked out a Princess Cupcake Cake from Hannaford and she had sherbert to go with it. :) She got a lot of nice gifts and she had a wonderful time! I still can't believe my baby is 4!
