Time sure does fly! I can't believe Hannah turned 9 years old last week.
Here are some pictures from the birthday celebrations.
I had some help this year making the birthday placemat.
Traditional breakfast. Pancakes (both in the shape of the age and mini ones, one for each year of life). Then the birthday child also gets some sort of fruit and sausage cut to the special number as well.
Coming down the stairs.
She decided to share her game time with her siblings.
Watching a show with lunch.
You'd think a child with this look on her face was unable with perhaps the brussel sprouts on her plate.
However our birthday tradition is that the birthday child chooses the dinner, so those were her choice.
Present time
She loves Fingerlings and Shopkins.
Her sister knew how much she wanted the elephant Fingerling that she got it for her when we were at Walmart a couple of weeks ago.
Cake time.
Tabitha and Amelia made the cake while Hannah and I were at the Y that morning. They didn't notice the frosting on the counter, I guess, because they decided to decorate with food coloring.
Taking a break from the cake to allow daddy to see her opening her gifts from big sister Krystal who had finally arrived.
Yes, she loves elephants.
The big tradition for the number 9 birthday is the mommy and daddy take the birthday child out to dinner at a fancy restaurant. We couldn't go on her birthday because daddy had to work, so we took her on Saturday.
Go to a fancy restaurant, get a cheeseburger. Sounds about right. In fact, both her older sisters did the same thing.
Can't forget to share the traditional birthday banner.
Looking forward to seeing your Wordless (or not so wordless) Wednesday posts this week.
No button currently, and there won't be one until I can figure it out seeing as Photobucket has changed things. Feel free to still share the picture in place of the button on your Wordless Wednesday post or in a list of Wordless Wednesday linkies. Just link it to my
Wordless Wednesday permalink please.
