With Covid still shadowing our lives, we step slowly forward making adjustments as we go while we are eager to open the gates and run into the wonderful weather of spring, Birthdays are still a challenge to mark well as much of what we'd like to do in celebration is compromised with social restrictions. Hannah had ideas of lunch date, bowling parties, and soaking up the sun by the pool, but we settled for something much more simplistic--a girls' day.
The afternoon was simply beautiful in both appearance and feel as it was sunny with a pleasant breeze and not yet hot and humid.
Being the youngest, Hannah had been out of the house the least during this whole lock down, so for our girls' day, I set out to tour the town with her. She was thrilled that her favorite birthday lunch location was actually open for service so we started there and had a wonderful buffalo wing lunch.
After eating, we set out to do a bit of shopping at locations of Hannah's choice. She found a few things that caught her attention like beautifully crafted doll houses and Cabbage Patch babies which she apparently cannot get enough of.

| She was hoping she would get a boy and she did! |

| She said this house was the best because it was a farmhouse with a porch swing. Ah yes--the good life! |
Dinner was had at home followed by cake and gifts. Hannah had asked me to make her a cake with lots of colors and butterflies she could eat. Thankfully I found pretty little edible butterflies on Amazon and our birthday girl was thrilled with the results.
The report at the end of the day was that she had a wonderful birthday--that's what I wanted to hear. :-) It's hard to be so limited and to still find ways to help them feel celebrated. Happy Birthday Hannah! We've loved our with years with you and we look forward to many more!<3 p="">
