Look out world, Hanna is 9!!!

So our little pop star is finally 9! (OK, so it was a few weeks ago now, but I have slowly been catching up on the past month.) Hanna is quite the party planner, too. I had to help her cut a few of her plans to get is down to a couple of hours. She ended up with a pop star theme, mostly inspired by Hannah Montana, of course. Thanks to her cousin, Kaitie, for the use of the Karaoke machine, she and her guests did many different songs along with a few dance moves! They also played the Hannah Montana board game, had a private DJ (aka Judd), and ate a little cake and ice cream. All in all, I think the girls had a blast.

Kaitie also stayed with us the week before her birthday. Hanna really liked having her here to play with. Sometimes the little brother and sister just don't have what it takes to be a "tween".

I think I can dare say that her favorite birthday gift was from Mom and Dad. We brought her in the Wednesday before her birthday to get her ears pierced. You should have seen her beaming for many days after that. I think the initial newness has worn off, but I know that she is very excited to have them done. She has waited a long time.
