Hannah's Birthday Party

Today was Hannah's third birthday party!  We very carefully avoided telling her today (or all week) that her party would be today.  We didn't want her to get overly excited and have even more trouble sleeping (and we especially wanted her to have a good nap before the party).  When we went in to get Hannah up from her nap, we told her about the party.  She was a little confused at first, but then got very excited!  Here is a little video.

After that, Hannah got pretty bossy, telling everyone what to do and not do (after all, she was all of the sudden aware that this is her special party day, and she was going to let everyone know that it was HER day).  At the party, Hannah was a little overwhelmed by all of the attention and excitement.  But she had a great time.  The party was at Little Monkey Bizness, an indoor play gym with play houses, slides, jump castles and such.  The kids had a great time playing, followed by some pizza and cake.  Here are some pictures.

Hannah LOVED having everyone sing to her!

Hannah was not happy about taking this photo.

And, of course, here is a video of Hannah receiving her cake and birthday song and then blowing out her candle (well, you can't really see that part - my fault, sorry).
