Celebrating Hannah!

We had a great day celebrating Hannah on her actual birthday.  I love that her birthday is always over the holidays because we had time to celebrate in lots of different ways. She chose special meals, a haircut, getting her ears pierced,  and opening gifts.....

Birthday Breakfast = donuts!

I feel nostalgic about this picture because you can see their long hair...
later on that day they both got it chopped.

1st gift of the day...Nail polish from Natalie ;-)

Hannah got her ears pierced!
She was so brave!

She requested spaghetti and roasted broccoli for dinner
and we had brownies and ice cream for dessert.

time for more gifts!

She requested overalls for her birthday but they didn't arrive in time...oops!

She got lots of pretty clothes and other fun gifts from her grandparents.

Apparently I made her practice on her birthday...

The following weekend we had a party for Hannah. She invited 2 special families to celebrate with us.  We just played games at home with all these sweet little girls and Paul grilled some yummy burgers and hotdogs for lunch. It was a lot of fun!

I just love Hannah's face as she opens a gift from a friend - pure joy!
