Hannah's 8th birthday was quite a celebration for her. There were so many things she wanted to do, so we split them up and had probably too many parties for her. We celebrated on her birthday night with just our little family going out to dinner and to Build-A-Bear. The next night we had family over for cake and ice cream and then on Saturday afternoon, she invited 20 of her closest friends to the Treehouse Childrens Museum for another party. Overkill maybe, but lots of fun!
Hannah's baptism was such a special event for our family. It's so exciting and so hard at the same time to see your first become so grown up so fast. She was so cute and sweet that day. The man that fills the font on baptism day just happened to forget on our day of course. We went early to set up chairs and realized that there was no water in the font. Allen turned it on, but Hannah was baptized in only about 18 inches of water. It was very hard for a tall dad and a tall daughter to get her under in that little of water, but they did it and it was so special. Hannah immediately went home after the celebration and wrote that baptism memory in her journal.
