Hannah's First Night in Her Big Girl Bed

Hannah slept in her big girl bed last night for the first time.  We gave her crib to Mary and David Godbold to use for baby Connor.  Hannah slept through the night well, and she didn't even get up and come to the door.  We're thankful that the transition was successful for this newly-turned two year-old.

   We celebrated Hannah's 2nd birthday party at home tonight with family.  Mimi and Grandy came over for dinner.  Daddy grilled hamburger sliders, and Mommy made some very special lavender iced cupcakes for her very special girl.  Hannah wore the Ariel costume that Nana and Granddaddy gave her.  She opened presents with the help of her big brother James.  She got a lavender sparkly purse from Mommy and Daddy.  Her brothers gave her a Disney Princess book and play mat that came with 11 Disney princess figures.  Mimi and Grandy gave the birthday girl some Disney movies.  Hannah ate dessert first tonight...why not, when it's your birthday!  She kept inching closer to the cupcake stand until she grabbed one and started digging in to the icing.  She got to say the blessing when everyone sat down to eat dinner. This little girl is so loved.  We are very thankful for her sweet little spirit.

Happiness

     We celebrated the week of Hannah's 2nd birthday at the most magical place on earth--Disney World!  It was so fun to introduce our little princess to the Disney Princesses.  Hannah got to meet Cinderella (her favorite) and Belle.  She rode the teacups, Peter Pan, It's a Small World, and Pirates of the Caribbean in the Magic Kingdom.  The brothers participated in the Pirate's League, and got painted and dressed up like pirates.  Our little Tinkerbell was scared to death when she first saw her brothers as pirates.  She cried and ran away from them.  At Epcot, we got to ride the Frozen ride, and we saw the Lion King show at Animal Kingdom.  Connor and Weston got to ride the Everest roller coaster there, as well.  They loved it!  The highlight of the week was when we had a semi-private fireworks show at the Magic Kingdom.  Hannah sat on the front row in front of Cinderella's castle, wearing her Cinderella dress, as we watched the fireworks and ate funnel cake for dessert.  We also got to spend some time with our special friends, the Carnathans!  They came to spend Memorial Day with us at our resort pool.  We had a wonderful trip!
