How did we get here so quickly?








Hannah turned 11 on Monday. She got glasses a few weeks ago also. We had a small family party on Monday night with her favorite foods, including a Red Velvet cake and lots of presents. She is not having a big party this year, but we will do something w/ a few friends later. She woke up to her room decorated for her bday and 36 3 Musketeers candy bars all over her bed (she has just discovered that she likes candy bars and is a fanatic about these). Her sisters made homemade soft pretzels for breakfast for her also...they were yummy!

It is such a bittersweet time for me with her growing up. While I enjoy having a companion that I can talk to, I do miss having all 11 years of her life go by so quickly! Todd and I decided last night that we wish we could go back and have her from day 1 again...knowing what we do now about her. Man, that would make life so much easier and the memories so much sweeter. She ended the day with presents from everyone...mostly cash and a camera from Rita and Papa.

Girl, I can't believe Hannah is 11! I can remember her at Rena when she was Kayla's age, my how the time flies. Your girls are precious and growing so quickly. I often tell Cooper to 'quit that growing up'. We are all truly blessed with our families!

I love Hannah's glasses. Zoey wondered when we stopped by why she wasn't wearing them!! Mrs. Blaylock, we miss her!
Enjoyed catching up!
