I can’t believe you are already 17! Seems just like yesterday that you would put on dress clothes and put everything you could find in the house and put them in all of your purses and carry them around the house! The birthday parties we had where you had a fashion show – and for your 8th birthday when we woke all your friends up house by house and had them come over for breakfast in their pajamas!
I thank God every day for you being in my life and making my life so great! You are a warm, caring, smart, independent young woman and I can’t wait to see where life takes you!
For those of you who may have missed it, this was Hannah’s big birthday present – we gave it to her three weeks ago today!

And I tried to put together a slide show, but I am not that technical. I probably have about a MILLION pictures of Hannah, but I thought I would share a few of my favorites!

So you can imagine how hard it was to pick out pictures to share! I am going to be making her Banana Milk Chocolate Chip Pancakes for breakfast. Then we are planning on going to our local thrift store, checking out a church rummage sale, a couple of garage sales, hitting the batting cages, going to a Japanese grocery store on the hunt for Green Tea Mousse, and then meeting Joe for dinner at a Chinese restaurant!
Please leave Hannah a birthday comment if you can! Not sure when I’ll be back today – hope everyone has a great day!
