Your ninth birthday spread over a few days of joyful celebrations. This year you counted down until your birthday from Abi’s birthday back in June, you were SO EXCITED and couldn’t help anticipating the fun to be had. Every couple of days you’d alert us for three months of how many weeks until your birthday. Hehe. We were all excited too, girlie, even if there were other exciting things to celebrate between Abi’s birthday and yours (like Eden’s birthday and Mommy/Daddy’s anniversary, etc).
With the early arrival of three chicks for you to mother, a day full of your favorite foods (this year it was cinnamon rolls, burgers and tacos), and a trip to your favorite place, the beach, you sure seemed to be on cloud nine this year.
Great breakfast choice, Hannah!
(And real-life clean laundry in the background. Woot!)
Happiest of birthdays, beautiful Hannah. You bring such light and life to our family. It is such a blessing to get to invest in you as you grow and mature into the purpose God has for your life. May you always find an animal to love on, new friends around every corner, and life full of sheer joyful adventure to be had. Love you so, ball of rupturing energy. We just can’t stop smiling around you as you wear your vibrant love for life on display. I cannot wait to see what adventure year nine has in store for you!
Happy birthday Hannah! I can’t believe how grown up you look. And you are “rocking” that zoo keeper hat!
