Hannah is such an awesome kid! She is so loving and caring and likes to help others. She also has a little spark in her and can be quit feisty sometimes. She is a great big sister and little sister and plays those roles well. She can be such a little helper around the house. She will go on a cleaning spree and will clean up the whole house without being asked. She is my picky eater, and it takes a lot of convincing for her to try something new, or deciding that she actually likes something new. She thinks she doesn't like to read, but she really enjoys reading books and picking new ones out at the library. Some of her favorites that she has found all on her own of course, are the jewel kingdom, and the candy apple books. She has a mind of her own and likes to pick out her own things, and rarely takes my suggestions. Which is a good thing that she is not afraid to try what she wants. I really admire that in her. She is such a friendly person, and can make friends so easily and so fast. One time I helped in her classroom at school. It was with the all of the second graders. The kids rotating through would ask me who's mom I was, and when I said Hannah, most of them all knew who she was, and would comment on how nice she was. That didn't surprise me at all. She can be a little shy and timid at first or if she feels uncomfortable, but once she gets over that she is so the opposite. She can be very independent and enjoys doing her own hair. She will not very often let me do fun things with it, but she wants to do it.
Hannah's favorite color is still pink and turquoise.
Her favorite candy bar is a butterfinger.
She loves gymnastics, dancing and singing.
She loves to swim, rollerblade and jump on the trampoline.
She loves to listen to music and dance around the house.
Her favorite music artist is Taylor Swift and can sing along with a lot of her songs.
She is my little fashionist She loves clothes and putting together outfits. She also likes to help pick out Bethany's and Bryleigh's clothes too.
She is very energetic.
Her favorite cake is chocolate and lemon.
Her favorite food is crepes.
She is not very interested in sports, although I think she would be great at them. She is very athletic. She had a bad experience with soccer when she was 4, and has not recovered. She likes to play sports for fun, but not on a actual team.
Hannah had a fun birthday day. I loved being able to spend all day with her and not have to send her to school! She wanted french toast for breakfast and a green smoothie. These were amazing egg free french toast. We have not been able to find a good french toast recipe that tasted good ever without eggs, so this was exciting for us to find one that works and taste so yummy!!
Her snack she chose to "bring to school" were graham crackers with peanut butter and chocolate chips. Yummy!
She was so excited for her presents and was looking forward to this specific present. Rollerblades. Now the girls can roller blade together!
Her ballerina cake that we saved for her birthday. The top layer was lemon and the bottom was chocolate. The kids enjoyed a piece of each.
Blowing out her candles!
Her other present she was also so excited about, but also a little nervous. When they turn eight they get to get their ears pierced. Bethany's ears had a hard time and they seemed to continually get infected. Hannah was convinced that she was never going to get hers pierced. But I guess she had a change of heart. She was excited and so brave. She picked a stud in the color of her birthstone, so a light blue.
She was doing fine until the lady pulled out the ear gun. She got a little worried and nervous. You can see it in her face, how intense she looks.
The lady had Hannah count to 3, then she would pierce her ear. She chose to do the ears separately so she got to count twice.
She did a great job. It hurt her a little, but she didn't even cry. She got a hurting look on her face, but that was it. And her ears have been perfect. They reacted very well to the earrings and she has had no infections. I think she is happy with that! Only another week and she gets to change her earrings She is going to love that!
Then we ended our day with swimming. It was so fun to play in the water.
Happy 8th birthday Hannah!! I can't believe you are becoming so grown up and are really old enjoy to get baptized!!!
