Celebrating with Her Friends!

Hannah had only been to Chuck E Cheese’s once and she was too young to remember it but I knew once she got there she’d love it!  It ended up being a great place to host her 3rd birthday party with her little friends!
7 of her friends joined Hannah for a time of celebration!   (This pic also shows how tall my little sweetie is.  She is the 3rd youngest kiddo in the pic.  We’re hoping her height will work in our favour for our August Disney trip as she’ll be able to ride such rides as Soarin’ and Splash Mountain!)There were games and rides for all to enjoy and then a pizza supper.  Here Hannah is taking a ride with Barney.  I love how she has her little arm around Barney and then shows him the pic of herself that she had made on an earlier ride.

After supper Chuck E himself came out and entertained the kids for a bit and then it was time for cake. Yum!
I never anticipated how emotional it would be to sing Happy Birthday to my daughter and even watching this video found me tearing up again.

Hannah really enjoyed herself and yet at the same time was quiet and took it all in around the entertainment and action around her.

After supper Hannah was invited to go into the ticket blaster. I wasn’t sure how it would go but my sweetie completely surprised me by jumping in there with both feet and grabbing tickets like the best of them!  After it was over I giggled as she turned around and threw all the tickets she’d grabbed back into the blaster.  For her it was all about the fun of gathering tickets.

Happy Birthday Hannah!  Mommy loves you!!
