Happy 5th Birthday Hannah! (Posted Late)

So I am the worst mother b/c I never posted a "Happy 5th Birthday" to Hannah on her actual birthday last week on 10/20 (and to my brother on the exact same day). I know I have said it before but I am really going to try and be better about posting more frequent updates here rather than just on FB. Adam gets mad that FB takes away from me posting updates here.

I don't have the pictures of her actual b-day uploaded yet so pictures of that are to come soon but she celebrated her birthday circle at school the day before her birthday because on her actual birthday they were doing this whole Fall Festival celebration and I thought it would be too much for the teachers to do the birthday celebration, costumes, pumpkin patch, animal petting zoo, face painting and all the other stuff that comes along with the Fall Festival on one day. The night before Hannah and I made cupcakes in ice cream cones...so much fun and much easier then I thought it would be.



Each year for birthday circles the parents, or I should say moms make a birthday poster with pictures from each year of your child's life so the teachers can talk about it. For this year I decided the theme would be what Hannah was for each of of the past Halloweens. It was so much fun to reminisce.



Samantha excited to be sitting with her big sister on the wall before coming into circle and at circle time with all the big kids.







Hannah's birthday circle set up and Hannah going around the "year" for each year of her life.

And finally here is a picture of the girls in their doggie costumes. At first Samantha wanted nothing to do with hers but once Hannah got her costume all Samanatha wants to do it wear hers around the house. I have had to hide it just so we can get a break from it! :)



I just thought I would post this one too b/c it was funny to me that while I was trying to get a picture of the dog costumes, Tulip in her real life dog "costume" walked by as if to say "hey get a picture of me too!".
