Happy Birthday, Hanna!!

I'd say that Hanna's birthday today was a big success. Tim and I woke her up this morning singing Happy Birthday by the side of her bed. The "Birthday Fairy" had left 50 balloons on her bedroom floor. This is our family tradition and I think the girls look forward to it as much as the gifts and cake. Next, Johanna and I picked-up her cake and drinks for her birthday party at school. I walked her in to her classroom. The kids are always so proud when their parents come to school for any reason.

When Tim brought Johanna home, she opened the rest of her gifts. Next, we went to dinner with our dear friends Lori and Sam, who gave her even more presents! When we got home, Hanna played with her new things until Caitlin got home, when we could finally have cake. Hanna played some more and then it was off to bed. I have to say, she was wound-up really tight! :-)

One of the gifts Lori and Sam gave her was a felt craft to make a hat, scarf, and purse. Hanna was so excited, she made the hat already! Here's a pic of her in it...


Her cake this year was the head of a snowman. A picture of that is below.

So, as you can see, it was a full and fun day. It's hard to believe that Christmas is only a week away! Where does the time go?

Here's hoping that most of your holiday "chores" are complete so you can enjoy a restful and fun season. Thanks for visiting!
