Hammer and church meetings

Hannah said the funniest thing the other day. Recently when Chad was working down in the basement, he accidently hit his thumb with the hammer. Ouch! A few days later when Chad got home from his early morning church meetings Hannah asked him how his meetings were. She then asked him if at his meetings he was taught how not to hit his thumb with the hammer. We just laughed!

Hannah's Birthday

Hannah turned a big 4 on Feb. 28th. She was very excited for her birthday this year and we counted down for several weeks. The night before I set out all of her presents on the kitchen table along with some balloons and a flower. We woke her up in the morning so that she could open all of her presents before Chad went to work. She was so thrilled when she came into the kitchen and saw everything. She was very happy which is quite unusual for her since she is not a morning person. Spencer enjoyed helping her open her presents. We got some good pictures of her joyous expressions as she opened each gift. She has loved all of her gifts as well as the cards/stickers/pictures she received in the mail. Thanks everyone for making her feel so special!!!

Hannah and all of her presents. I would say that she looks happy wouldn't you?!

I had bought donuts for Hannah to have for breakfast. She loves donuts and we don't get them very often. I think Hannah ate 3 or 4 of them during the day. Spencer also enjoyed them.

Hannah wanted a butterfly cake for her birthday. It actually turned out to be pretty easy to make and Hannah helped me decorate it which made it even more fun for her.

The saturday following Hannah's birthday we had a little birthday party for her with her friends. I cannot even express how excited Hannah was for her party! We had five of her friends come over for 1 hour (I couldn't have handled anything longer!!). They colored, made bracelets, played some games, opened presents, and had cupcakes and ice cream. Lucky for me G-ma Fromm was in town and was there to help me. It turned out well and I am glad that Hannah doesn't get parties every year!

Primary Update

I figured a good place to start was where I left off. Hannah has done quite well in primary since her first day. She has only had trouble one other time. Yeah! I have had to revert back to bringing food to church so Hannah can have food during primary. It is not ideal by any means but it does not matter how much food she eats before church she is starving by the time we are in primary. She is constantly eating at home and that time of day is just hard. If I don't bring something for her she turns into a different girl and we have problems. What do I do?

Hannah gave her first scripture in primary on sunday. We worked on it during the week and I talked to her about not being scared and speaking into the microphone. She did really good and didn't get scared at all about being in front of everyone. I was really proud of her. I'm hoping that this is a good sign that she won't be like me who hates to be in front of people. I have memories of being deathly afraid of giving my talks etc in primary when I was little.
