The Almost-Christmas-Birthday Girl!

This girl makes me smile. Hannah is always, smiling, laughing and talking. Sometimes I think she is just going to bubble over as words tumble out of her mouth. Because her birthday is so close to Christmas (the 21st)  it will probably always be a challenge to get a date for a party or celebration, but I'm pretty sure having an almost Christmas birthday will never bother her. She just takes everything in stride and laughs and enjoys life to the fullest.

Kristen made a pretty pink cake with the number 4 on.

Hannah chose to sit between both Grandpas. You could tell that they were both secretly very pleased to be given this position of honor!

Hannah loved her presents. Her favorite (which I didn't get a picture of) was an American Girl Doll horse from her parents. Apparently, the three sisters like to play horses together and the older two each have a horse from American Girl and Hannah just had a small one. Now she has a horse equal to her sisters. She was absolutely delighted. Here Hannah shows off some of her other gifts. You have to admit the sunglasses are pretty cool.

Even Grandma tried them on....

And here are two videos for your enjoyment :)
