a birthday

We celebrated a birthday yesterday. Sweet Hannah turned 11. We had sort of a birthday weekend. On Friday night she invited two friends to sleep over. We played at the park, and went to Brusters. Ordered pizza and the girls played games and watched movies all night. It was a lot of fun for them, and easy breezy for me :)

On Sunday we had our good friends the Martines' over for a special birthday dinner. Hannah choose the menu and it was delish. After we played her new game, "would you rather" and had cake and ice cream.

Today Dani, Tate, Han and I are going to Annapolis for a day of shopping and lunch. She has some nice gift cards and is going to get some school clothes.

She has been fully celebrated, as she should be.

Hannah is a special girl and it's been such a pleasure to be her mother. The last year has been a great one for her. She has made many good friends here in Maryland and has really matured. She is kind and nurturing. Loves to read and cook and watch TV. She loves fashion and music and is excited about her life and going to middle school.
