Birthday party

Hannah enjoyed turning six. She opened many presents at breakfast (Michael had made pinwheel biscuits and maple bacon), then played for a long time. After lunch, quiet time, and a walk with Dada (it was only 90 degrees, you know, quite cool!), guests began to arrive. Now that I think of it, the birthday girl and her siblings were in the tub at the posted start time for the party, but that was quickly remedied. Much to the chagrin of Simeon, who loves the bath.

Hannah was a most gratifying present opener this year.

She had to fend off little hands, but was able to do so without getting cranky, and she had some fabulous appreciative faces.



But the crowning glory of the party was definitely The Pink Parasol.

A good friend of ours got it for her, and when she opened it, besides having a face-splitting grin, she cried, "HOW did you KNOW?!?!"

It was very endearing. Then she danced around with the parasol for a good long time.

At this point, Naomi wanted to check to be sure that we're still a sharing family.

I remember loving pink umbrellas and parasols. I don't own any pink parasols, but I do own 3 parasols (and they're around here somewhere). I own one that I think is an Asian design, a minuature white lace one, and a full sized lace parasol. I've loved them myself! Still do. I think they're so elegant. You can tell Hannah that's something she and her Aunt Bethany have in common!
