Hannah's Birthday

Hannah wanted an art/nature party so she painted her own invitations, they turned out really cute.

 

We celebrated the day before since her birthday fell on father's day.

I wish I got a better picture of all the girls.  We are missing one here and there are flowers blocking Hannah but it is the best one we got.  She had a couple friends from school, a couple from church, and a few from the neighborhood.

 

Andrew was a big help during her party.  We had a bunch of cool fairy items that we showed them at the beginning  and then he would take one and hide it at different times.  When one went missing they would have to figure out which one was gone and then go find it.  They all seemed to like it.

We did a bunch of art projects.  We did water color paintings, made flower wands, beaded necklaces, and decorated pots that we planted flower seeds in.

Hannah is showing us the martin tradition of not talking after candles are blown out until you eat the first piece of cake.

She got a lot of fun art supplies and has been very busy with her art box since then.

On her actual birthday we had an indoor picnic lunch.

We were going to go to the zoo on her birthday celebration day but we decided it would be way too crowded on a Saturday with a new polar bear, so we went on Monday.  I love this picture that Daniel took of Hannah on the carousel.  I don't know why she looks so serious, but I think it is beautiful.

The new polar bear is a 2 year old playful cub and he was so cute and fun to watch.

 

Here is my six year old Hannah.  We love this girl very much and are so glad she is part of our family.  She is brave, strong, good, fun, beautiful, and sweet.  She loves art, nature, fairies, reading, writing, riding her bike, playing with friends and family, and playing with her bunny.  She can often be found cutting up fruit or playing a make believe game.  She is cautious and protective and a good thinker.
