crispinformation: Birthday: Hannah is 5

And now it's Hannah's Birthday. The big 5... every year is a big deal with us. :)
(Joshua and I are both writing in this post so you can view his comments by the centering style.)

Hannah and I went to Tom thumb

so Hannah could pick out her very own
cake! She also saw this giant balloon with
Ariel hanging inside. "Daddy...I like that balloon."

If only you could have seen Hannah's face when she brought this giant balloon in the door. She was so smiley! I, on the other hand, am thinking of how many ways this balloon is going to cause problems with her siblings... as you can imagine... What fun for Hannah to get such a cool balloon.

As they walked towards the store Joshua asked
Hannah what kind of cake she wanted. Hannah
said "CHOCOLATE" with a BIG smile.

Hannah also got to choose her ice cream
for the birthday party. She looked at all
the different types, then selected
ice cream sandwiches.

Us Crispin's love us some choc. (add the hick accent and you've got it!)

("yeah, a little messy and lots of stains.")

Sijah just couldn't hold out till his birthday... he needed in on that choc business.

He's really just making sure it's dead....whatever it is.

Daddy's gift for Hannah... the face says it all!
(Yes, that is Sijah you see on all fours in the background. The boy is trying so hard to crawl... a couple more weeks and he'll be chasing the kids up and down the hallway.)

Mommy and Daddy helped put this large puzzle
together for the first time. It was great fun.

As you can see, she does not get her olive complexion

from Daddy. Brown eyes, yes.

A 'play dress' for Hannah. She loves to dress in dresses and be a princess. I also got for her 'glass slippers!'

I have been wanting to get this book for my girls for so long now. It is about a girl that is given a gift, her first kiss, and the quest to find who to give it to... She waits for the right man and then doesn't give him the gift till they are married. Every princess-loving girl's must-have-book. The Princess and the Kiss.

Aunt Lindsay came over and gave her a gift... what else but princesses? A color book, fabric book to sew with mom, and a table cloth. (Aunt Lindsey gave Caleb a 'Cars' one for his birthday)
