Hannah's overnight date

Hannah was excited for her overnight date! We like to take them overnight when they turn 12 and take them to the temple. It was a little tricky with her since she also wanted to go to the temple on her actual birthday. So it her 2nd time going to the temple. She wanted to go to temple square and do the beehive house tour. So we did. 

We stayed at a hotel in South Jordan. We got to the hotel, had pizza and went swimming.

The next day we went to the Mt. Timpanogo's temple. I let her pick what temple she wanted to go to within a couple hours. This was the one she picked. 

It was fun spending some one on one time with Hannah. She is a great girl and so much fun to be with!

She wanted to go to sweet tomatoe's for lunch afterwards, but we found out that they closed all of them in Utah. So we went to chuck a rama instead. Hannah was happy!

hannah's 12!

Hannah had her party on Friday night and her birthday was the next day on Saturday. She got home from tumbling class and her door was decorated from the beehive's. They like to welcome their new beehives and she was so excited to be in yw's now!

Hannah wanted to go to the Salt Lake temple on her birthday. So we had to get her recommend that morning, and off we went the temple. She invited Bethany to come with her. It was fun that they could go together and that Bethany could help her through the process. 

I love my girls!

She got to open her presents and her yw's goodies!

She obviously loved the phone! It doesn't have service, but she can text on it when she has wifi. She was happy!

She started playing songs on her phone, so they had a little dance party. Rylan and Bryleigh love dancing together!

Then she had cake! We saved the top of the cake for her birthday. 

 I can't believe Hannah is 12! She's growing up so fast! 

She loves being around people and is very good at making friends. 

She is a great student and always does her best!

She still loves to do tumbling and playing basketball. She is going to try softball this year. 

She is still into fashion, has fun doing her hair and is excited to be able to start wearing makeup. 

She is a great sister and friend and we all love her so much! 

hannah's party

Hannah was excited for her birthday party. She is very social and has lots of friends. I was nice and let her invite as many friends as she wanted, thinking some of them maybe wouldn't come. Well, pretty much all of them came and she had a great time! 

She designed her own cake and loved it! 

Opening her presents!

The crew! They had fun playing games, had cake, opened presents and ended the long night with a movie. She loved it and I'm glad she had such a great time!
