Twelve.Years.Old.


Yesterday we celebrated Hannah's birthday with cupcakes, a visit from Grandma & Grandpa Day, and a surprise from the YW - kidnapping, dinner at the Leidich's (tacos), and they decorated her room with yellow & black streamers and balloons for their newest "Beehive".

Being the good mother that I am, I took NO pictures of the kidnapping. My camera broke on top of the sand dune in Muskegon and I've been using the girl's cameras, which have decided to break as well! Despite that, Hannah really had a great time. She is now one of 4 beehives, which will double by December.

Hannah's gift theme this year is brought to you by the letter "P":
  • Phantom of the Opera Tickets
  • Pedicure & Manicure Gift Certificate
  • Polish (nail)
  • Pajama Pants
  • Pink Robe
Opening the Phantom tickets...one for her best friend, too!

We love you, Hannah! Thanks for being the wonderful daughter and sister that you are.

ok, how is it possible for Hannah to look more grown up in only the 3(not even) months we have not seen her?! She is a beauty! How fun to be 12! I'll bet she is the most darling in the hive! :)

Happy, Happy Birthday!!

What a fun birthday surprise from the beehives! Sounds like she had a great day! Happy Birthday Hannah B!

Sorry about your camera, Amy! Now you can go get that Rebel... :)

We tried to call Hannah on her birthday, but she was probably being kidnapped at the time. Lucky her - kidnapping and Julie Leidich's food all in one night.

Sure wish we could have been there. Happy Birthday sweet Hannah. I know you'll love Beehives!
