Happy Birthday to Hannah!

Hannah has been claiming to be two years old for the last 6 months so she was beyond excited when the big day finally came. She really got into it this year and would shout "Happy birthday to Hannah!" in the days leading up to her birthday. She tried to master holding up two fingers but didn't quite get it to work. She was really spoiled by family and friends and just loved opening presents. Here are some pictures of the birthday fun.

Hannah had a one-track mind wanting to get to opening presents right away so Mom distracted her by getting out the Halloween candy to meticulously sort and re-sort.

Finally she got to open presents. There was no sign of the one year old who would lightly tug at the edges of the wrapping paper. Now she tears through them like the Tasmanian Devil.

What's in here?

Mom and Dad took Hannah to Red Robin to celebrate. Uncle Matt asked if she was going to get a malt so we had to let here try one (Mom and Dad helped her finish it).

The Rauwerdink ladies. Both are birthday girls this month.

When Hannah pretends to take pictures with here new camera she yells out "Cheese" or "Smile".

14 years until we have to hand over the keys.

New doll accessories from Grandma and Grandpa B. Also in the lower left the Little People birthday party is under way. She loves setting them up to eat around the table.

Pulling her babies around in their new wagon.

Tearing into a big box from Grandma J.

Hannah's friends came over for a birthday celebration. Elise says "I'm outta here" and Lily would rather not have her picture taken. Hannah and the Spredemann kiddos manage to sit still for at least a couple seconds.

The big two year old.

Hannah liked her Curious George cake.

Blowing out the candles (with a little assistance from off camera).

Cake eating time is a good time for the snarly face to come out.

Hannah's buddies Allie and Cameron.

With cousin Grant and Grandma B.

Hannah is very proud of her Dora table from Uncle Jon. Just the right size.

Love the pictures. We all had fun at the birthday party. Now we just have to celebrate Hannah's mom's birthday.
