Celebrations

Thursday morning, Hannah's birthday, the three of us went into her room when she awoke to sing her happy Birthday.  She smiled so big but was totally clueless as to what in the world her crazy family was up to! Then came a cupcake for breakfast and opening presents from Mommy, Daddy, Jackson as well as several packages sent from family in TN.  We gave her a little kitchen set, play food, and shopping cart.  Big Brother gave her the cooking pots and pans to go with it.  I thought this might be a toy she would grow into, but judging by the play food ALL OVER MY HOUSE and the time spent playing -- it has been a hit for both her AND Jackson.  (Who likes to play restaurant, not kitchen, he insists!)  The rest of the day was spent at a pool play date, nap, back to the pool for Jackson's swim lesson, a very quick dinner, then off to daddy's softball game.  She was a happy little clam amongst the busyness.

On Friday we went to the zoo and grandmother came with us.  Hannah was very excited about the animals!  She waved to them, blew them kisses, and kept reaching out to hold them. We picked up an annual membership again, so I can't wait to make it a regular venture.

I'm One! 

Saturday we had a small family party for her.  She loved the attention and all the presents.  The bubble machine was a big hit for all!  By Saturday afternoon she came down with a fever and we spent some restful time at home that night and Sunday. 

On Monday we went to a fun Memorial Day party with some great friends.  Jackson and buddies spent the day running from kiddie pool to kiddie pool, sliding on the Slip and Slide, and water gun fights.  He is still talking about it!
