Hannah Turns 6!

Not only did Hannah get to spend the week before her birthday at Disneyland, but she also got to celebrate with a few of her friends and family when we got home.  She invited her two BFF's to lunch and Build-A-Bear.  I think the girls had a lot of fun!  They all picked the same bear and a cute dress to put on their bear.

The next night we invited all of the family over to celebrate.  It was still warm enough that the kids could run around outside.  As you can see, I put them to work raking leaves!  Hannah sure enjoyed having everyone over and loved all of the wonderful gifts.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Hannah also got her ears pierced.  Jeff was a little hesitant to let her get it done, which may have been for a good reason.  They only lasted about a month!  I tried to clean them regularly but she hated me touching them and would complain every time.  I think one of them was a little infected.  Anyway, we finally just took them out.  It wasn't worth the fight.  Maybe we'll do it again some day!

A few things about Hannah...

1. She loves dance and soccer.  I've been really impressed with her at dance this year.  It's like she's a whole different dancer.  She's a lot more flexible and likes doing the splits and heel stretches.  She loves that Aunt Madi is her dance teacher.  She is also super excited for spring soccer to start.

2. She is very helpful!  She will usually stop what she's doing to help me clean up around the house.  She makes her bed really well.  Her preschool and Kindergarten teachers have both commented on how helpful she is in the classroom as well.

 3. She is a great student!  Her teacher is constantly telling me how well she is doing.  She told me the other day that she is a "10" in the class.  She is cruising through all of her take home books and will be well ahead of where she is suppose to be at the end of the year.

4. She is a great sister to Jeffrey and Grayson.  Her and Jeffrey are good buddies and can have fun together for hours.  Her and Grayson can drive me crazy together, but she is so good to help him and play with him.  He sure loves her!  She is also great with her little cousins.  She absolutely adores baby Stella and can't wait to meet Annie.

5. She lives to have her chocolate milk every night and morning while she watches the iPad.  A few of her favorite shows right now are Monster High, My Babysitter's a Vampire, Jesse, Lab Rats and the movie Frozen.  Her best friends are Vienna and Brielle.  She loves her new American Girl doll and is excited get together with her friends so they can all play with their dolls.

6. She gets herself ready for bed when she's tired and gets up early before Jeff goes to work.  She is our beautiful, smart, sassy, dancing, soccer-playing girl!  We just love her to pieces!

HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY!
