Hannah's birthday was Saturday. We had a wonderful day, and I'll be posting more once I have a bit more time to go through the pictures. She loved everything she was given (including, but not limited to, the tape dispenser and tape refills we gave her -- "Oh MAMA, I've been wanting something like this!" -- have I mentioned that she's addicted to creating things and uses a ton of tape?) and was a gracious hostess at her dinner party.
A dinner party meant that the guest list was much shorter than for previous years, but it was still great fun. Here's the menu:
Appetizer: Hummus with pita and veggies (Hannah's choice)
Soup: Chilled Blueberry Soup
Main Course: Pakistani Kima (Hannah's choice)
Salad: Greens with apples, beets, blueberries, sauteed onions, goat cheese, and balsamic/maple vinaigrette (some of Hannah's favorite things put together)
Dessert: Apple Breakfast Cake (Hannah's choice)
Hannah liked most of the dinner, but surprisingly didn't like the blueberry soup. I (and others) thought it was quite tasty, but she said she didn't care for it -- not at dinner, but afterwards. Michael, who had been seated near her, said, "But Hannah, you ate a whole bunch of it! You really didn't like it?"
To which she replied with all the grown-up dignity of a girl of six whole years old: "I didn't think it would be polite for the birthday girl to say she didn't like something in her dinner."

She's getting so grown up! And wow, that was incredibly mature of her to eat something she didn't care for because she thought it wouldn't be polite for the birthday girl to say she didn't like something. Happy birthday Hannah! I just remembered I didn't send a card...I thought had, I'm so sorry. I'm so late on birthday stuff this year.
