Hannah's 9th and Josh's 35th!

We had lots of celebrations for Hannah's 9th Birthday this year!  

• On her baptism day, we celebrated her baptism and birthday with the Sudlow family
• We went to Bayern Stube to celebrate Tristan, Josh, and Hannah with the Gurtler family
• We went to Jocko's with the Downing family
• We took M&M ice cream cones to school
• We had a friends party at the mall
• Jody is taking her shopping in Indy
• Jody took us to Aikman Wildlife Adventure for Josh and Hannah's b-day weekend

Basically, I have given up on trying to keep birthdays simple.  This is a "simple" as it gets with so much family around!  Ha, that's a good thing, right!?

Thanks to Aunt Betsy for making her a cross-shaped carrot cake (Hannah's request):

She asked for an apple pie at home.  I usually make mine, but in a hurry, I cheated this time:

We had pancakes before school on her b-day:

We celebrated Josh and Hannah together at Jocko's with the Downings:

And we had a fun night at home on daddy's birthday.  He got lots of movies and other fun things:
