Rich and Hannah's Birthdays

It's so great that Hannah was born on Richard's birthday. It makes it easy for him to remember and we all just love to celebrate. Here are some great shots from the festivities. Hannah is so excited to be 8. She tells everyone that she's going to be baptized on February 2nd. She can't wait. Isn't it great to be 8!!!

Getting ready for the presents!

Harvest Hawks hoody from Hannah!

Dad's new BBQ Grill. I got many weird looks from the store employees when I bought this. I guess not too many people buy them in January! It was pretty tricky getting it home. Jacob and I had to build a ramp to get it up the stairs from the garage to the house. Needless to say it is still sitting in our living room. With all the snow lately, we just can't find a good place to put it!

Hannah getting her new scriptures and case. She loved them because they have her name on them!

Dad and his birthday pie. I didn't have enough candles, so 3 had to do!

Hannah had a Hawaiian friend birthday party on Friday, the 11th. She invited 11 girls over for the festivities. The night was packed full of fun stuff to do and I do believe that everyone had a great time. It's a good thing that these friend parties only come every 4 years. It will take me that long to recover from both Jacob's and Hannah's this year!!!


Our living room was transformed into a tropical paradise. Here are the girls making their leis on the "beach" with their beach towels. Next, we did Hawaiian Pictionary.


Here's the flip flop pinata. Here's Hannah ,Kelsey and Jacob having a whack at it. Everyone got 3 turns and then Grandpa Cory had to finally break it open.
FYI--DO NOT fill pinatas with Nerds!!



They waited so patiently! It took a lot longer than we all thought!


We played a hula hoop relay.

Next was the limbo. Lots of different ways to get under that limbo pole!

We ate Hawaiian Haystacks on the beach with Strawberry Slushies and umbrella straws!

Dinner was followed by PRESENTS!!

We finished off with the Flip Flop cake, of course! It was fantastic! Happy Birthday Hannah!

Party at Grandma Lillie's!

Miss Hannah!

I can't believe Hannah is getting baptized already! I can remember when she had her 4 year old birthday party with Noelle. Wierd how we are in such different places now huh. :)

What a week. Sound like a lot of partying. Loved the flip flop cake! I can't believe Hannah is eight. Izzy is so excited to turn eight this year too. Tell Rich Happy Birthday too!

That cake is great! I'm totally stealing that idea in the future :) Looks like a lot of excitement lately, especially your dad getting to bust the pinata open. Haha! Oh, and I will definitely remember the advice about the Nerds.

Fun party idea!
I just had to write and tell you that I do remember our x-stitch days. I have the one I started still going all these years. I take it out for General Conference only and work on it then. I am down to Joseph's hair (it is a manger scene) and then I will officially be done (after I backstitch the whole thing.) and to think it only took me 16 years!
