Those are the words we've been hearing in our house for weeks. Hannah has been so excited for her birthday! The morning began with a stirring rendition of "Happy Birthday" sung by the talented vocalists, Mommy, Daddy, and Tommy. Hannah was a captivated audience and laughed and clapped afterwards. Here she is with the one present she got to open in the morning. She needed a toy to play with during her "Happy Day," right?
That evening Lizzy and Jose came over to have a birthday dinner and enjoy some Olympic fever. Go Beijing 2008!!
Finally it was time for Hannah to blow out her candles. Was all her blowing practice going to pay off? She got the first one out no problem. But the second one was a little more stubborn. While Hannah was blowing it out, she brushed her chin against the flame. There was no injury, but Hannah was more than happy to have Daddy help her finish the job.
Oh, and the mark on her face is not a bruise. We went to pick up clothes at the cleaners, and the cute lady who owns it saw that it was Hannah's birthday and painted hearts on her cheek and hand. Hannah loved it!
Then came present time! As you can see, Tommy is more than happy to help Hannah open her presents.
I am thankful for my little girl who brings so much laughter and happiness into my life!

Melly,
You are such a great mom. We have one of those "You are special today" plates, but I never remember to use it. You are going to love having a child at school. They change and it's so fun to watch them learn and grow. Congrats!
