Hannah's Birthday

On July 28th, Hannah turned 6!  The night before, we had a birthday dinner for her. She chose grilled chicken and noodles with alfredo sauce.  She was kind enough to let me just buy cookies for her dessert.  (I had hosted the 24th of July on Thursday, held our annual Buckeye BBQ on Saturday and then done her birthday dinner on Sunday).
 



On her actual birthday, she woke up during the night and had thrown up.  Poor girl!  She slept fine the rest of the night, but we had to cancel playdate plans with her best friend Heidi that morning just to be sure.   (Emily & Lindsey left for Girl's Camp this same morning).    But, she seemed to feel fine, so we still went to swimming lessons and she played with Kate & Hailey during the day.   Then, on Wednesday, we had Heidi for most of the day and had a birthday celebration at McDonald's for lunch.

Hannah was so excited to get the "Rebecca" American Girl doll from my mom.   My mom actually ordered the doll a couple of years ago and it's been high in my closet.   Hannah's middle name is Rebecca, so it fits perfectly.    Hannah absolutely loves her.  (Thankfully the night of the throw up, the Rebecca doll was on the opposite side of the throw up).

 
 Kate made the little blanket for her.
 

She waited patiently until Jon got home in the evening to open her big present from us.  She was so excited to also get the Lego Cinderella Castle.  This family of ours loves Legos!   She puts them together all by herself.



 

We sure love this Hannah of ours!  She is a big first grader now and still cracks us up daily.   She loves building Legos, doing melty beads, playing with Heidi, teasing Hailey, dancing and watching movies.     She is in the 30th percentile for her weight and height - but has to be in the 120% for cuteness!

Happy Birthday Hannah!

That's funny. My Hannah got an American girl doll from Grandma too! Her doll is Sarah (her sister's name)!
