Hanna's 5th birthday party!

Hanna woke up way before 7 o'clock this morning & crawled into bed w/us. Things were going great; quiet and all until I decided to mention her birthday present; restlessness ensued. She kept saying, "If I don't open it now I won't know what it is and I might not like it". What???? That doesn't even make sense especially at 6:45am! We genteelly offered her another alternative to go read books in her room which she did for about 20 minutes. Enter Hanna back into our room (just as I've fallen back into pre-bday-hysteria-induced sleep. "Can I open my birthday present now????" Why oh why do I even open my mouth. In the next hour or so while Jason picked up the cake I somehow deferred her from solely thinking of her birthday present with a bowl full of marshmallow fruit loops. Trust me it works!

As soon as Jason got home she asked if she could open her present. She was quite surprised with her new bicycle but kept saying, "I thought it would be a game that Haley and I could play together."

When the doorbell rang Hanna & Haley both were very excited to see who it was.

I didn't feel like making a banner this time around and found the cutest one on etsy!

I did make the water bottle labels myself though!

Dinosaur party treats!!!

I found dinosaur egg bubblegum and dinosaur activity books at the party store.

I ordered these dinosaur charm sucker covers from etsy and found the same paper at Hobby Lobby to go with the decor.

Another etsy purchase......dinosaur shaped crayons! Adorable!!!!

I ordered the cake from Publix since we had a Publix cake a few weekends before that was scrumptious. I obviously tweaked their dinosaur cakes a bit and I think it turned out great!

I made dinosaur shaped cookies for the kids to decorate as well as dinosaur shaped magnets.

Some hungry little dinosaurs!

Haley loved being at the party and has asked Hanna for the last 2 months......."Hanna, can I come to your birthday party"? Hanna replies with, "Yes Haley. You live there!!!!"

Ben and Jack decorating their dinosaur cookies. Ben has a twin brother in the class, Christian, that has darker hair.

Richie again......is he just the cutest?????

The kids also painted dinosaur shaped magnets. Thank you Hobby Lobby!!!!

Time to open presents!!!

Hanna got a lot of fun things for her birthday! Thinking we need to ask Santa for new vessels now instead of new toys!

Our little Hannasaurus! Another purchase from etsy. Hanna loved it and will wear it all year long!

Sweet Brinly eating some pizza.

It's time to blow out the candles!!!!!

Brinly doing some painting. She is really good!

Everybody wanted to play duck-duck goose.

They were so cute! Hanna and Meredith even included their little sisters!

Hanna got some lip glosses and fingernail polishes that Haley loved trying out!

Family picture attempt; I actually like this one a lot.

They loved trying out Hanna's new make-up products!
