Happy Birthday Hannah

On Friday the 19th my little girl turned 4! I can not believe that she is growing up so fast. I know I say that every year, but it's just going so quickly. We spent her big day at Disneyland.

She got some birthday money from her Aunt and she went to the Disney store and picked out her Ariel costume. It was so nice to go to the mall with her by myself to just spend some quality time. She even told me while she grabbed my hand, " Mom I love my sister but it's nice to get you all alone!" She is such a sweetheart. I don't get to do much one on one with her but when I do we have so much fun.
Of course we had to go see the Princesses while we were there. Leah was in heaven because Minnie is her favorite!

It was nice to see Ariel there while Hannah was in her costume and she even sang to her. She sang the part of the song when Ursula steals her voice. Way too cute.
She is telling her cousin Kendra, "Yes! I'm four!!!" hahahaha

So happy that her cousins could come and endure the jam packed park with us. It was crazy insane so we did a few rides and bailed. But it's ok since we are there at least twice a month.
After we left the park we went to the Rainforest Cafe, which is one of her favorite places, and had a great meal there. They all sang to her and made a big deal for her birthday. It was a great day.

These are some things that she has said lately that are just too cute....

She is a real artist and she drew a picture and said, "This is you and daddy and me and this is my heart. You guys are falling in love!" It melted my heart

I was sad that she was going to be another year older so we had a conversation about enjoying her last day as a three year old. I told her I was sad that she was going to be four and she grabs my face with both her hands and says, "But mommy, I'll always hold 3 in my heart forever!" where does she come up with this stuff? I am not sure but I really love it.

When she walks into a room she needs to be introduced. "Introducing, the beautiful Princess Hannah!" Cracks us up every time. And sometimes she changes a hundred times a day and every time she needs her introduction. :)

She is very into dressing herself nowadays and let me tell you, we have some interesting outfits going on here! And I am usually the type of person that won't leave the house without her hair being done and outfits matching and looking perfect! Now, my poor little girl looks like a raggel-muffin!!! But she is learning her independence and I guess that's a good thing, right?

She also salute's me when I ask her to do something and says "Yes maam!" very funny for the on-lookers they think I'm a drill sergeant! I kinda like it. hahahaha

She loves her cupcakes!

I have not decided if she was trying to be dainty and not get dirty or if using her hands took too much time to get to her mouth! Either way, too funny!!!

A Princess party

Hannah is all about anything Princess, so what better theme to have than a Princess party?! Well it was the perfect party for our little girl. I loved all the pink and all the little Princesses, we had at the party. It was great weather because it was the first day of spring and it was gorgeous!!!

This is Hannah's cousin Wendy and they had so much fun together all day. Hannah's really into Ariel right now so that's what she was.
You could not get this little dare devil off of this thing! From the second they dropped it off until they picked it up at night, she was on it! Up and down the slide, going down in all directions possible. She was so brave and cracking us up.
What would a Princess party be without Princess crown cookies? My friend gave me this secret yummy recipe and let me tell ya, amazing! I can not do as good a job as she does, but I was pretty happy with the results. They kinda look like they are flipping me off :)
And the glass slippers!
Leah had to join in on the fun. She loves to do what her big sister is doing and she had to be Snow white.

Hannah's bestie Paige.


Some of our Princesses and their Prince Charming's.

Um, what can I say? The girl loves her cupcakes! I'll have to post the video of her eating them!
Hannah pretty much has all the dolls so they all played with them, here are just a few.
And most of her cousins stayed late and played all day. I love having them over. I love that she can play and have a good time with her family. It was a really great day and we had a lot of fun. Lot's of sweets and treats! But the best part was at the end of the day Hannah comes up to me and tells me how grateful she was for her party and all that I did for her. That made my day! She is a very sweet girl who appreciates everything! She opened her Jasmine doll and it was a scream heard around the world! Just knowing that she is happy makes me happy. I love her so much and I am so amazed at what a sweet girl she is.
