Hanna's Birthday Party

Hanna has been planning her 8th birthday party for about 6 months. She came to me over the summer and told me she wanted to have a tea party. I said sure honey, not really knowing how to do that, and was sure she would change her mind. Nope! Not only did she not change her mind, she kept bugging me every few weeks. "We need to get planning my party she would say"! Well, her blessed tea party finally happened and not to toot my own horn, but I loved how it turned out. My sweet friend Jen came to help and had so many great ideas since she threw a similar party for her daughter recently so I guess I can't take all the credit. And for those of you who know Hanna she always has her own ideas and don't get in her way or try to change her mind on them. I don't know where she gets it....or maybe I do:) Its one of my favorite things about her, her determination and creativity! Here are a few pictures from the big event, but you'll have to visit Hanna's blog in a few days to get the unedited version!


We served mini sandwiches, chocolate covered strawberries, mini cookies, and hot chocolate with mini marshmellows (instead of tea!)

Aren't you the best Mom ever. All of this with a new baby, a baptism to plan, Christmas cards (gorgeous by the way), and Christmas. Plus all the other regular life stuff...you are supre woman. She will be a forever pampered girl. I was getting ready to scrapbook stuff from 2001 and there sit Hanna and Christian in their carseats fast asleep. Has that much time already gone by? Miss you guys. If you ever need to golf you know who to call.
