Happy Birthday Hannah Ruth!
March 26, 2008 by beckyreeves
It’s taken me a few days, but I’m finally posting pictures from Hannah’s 9th birthday party! She had a “Candy” Birthday party theme this year. We had a jelly belly taste guessing game, played tape the candy on Hannah’s mouth, and had a water balloon toss. Of course, everyone went home with a big bag full of candy for party favors.
Hannah is my only girl and I’ve always said she’s enough girl for our whole family! I love her and treasure her and delight in the ways she is growing, especially as her spirit is being drawn deeper into God. Some of our conversations over the past few months have brought David and I both to tears as she expresses her love for God and desire to follow Him. Hannah loves playing with her little pets, figurines, and relaxing and having time to herself. She loves any type of animal and one of her favorite things about Togo is that there are baby animals everywhere! God, we praise you for Hannah Ruth!
What a beautiful young lady Hannah is becoming! The pictures make me miss you more!
Hannah- Aunt Sarah would have loved your angelfood cake with strawberries! it is what she always wanted for her birthday
I can’t believe you are 9 years old already! I am so proud of how you are growing!
Thanks for sharing the great photos, Becky. Looks like a fun party. (I was hoping those jelly bellies would come in handy)
Love you,
Mom
Happy Birthday Hannah! You have been a joy to teach this year. I will miss you when we move. Love you!!!
Happy Birthday, Hannah! The cake looks YUMMY, Becky!! Are those the infamous strawberries??
Mom, I had the same memory of Sarah always having angel food cake with strawberries and had told Hannah this on her birthday
Tracey, you know you will be missed by Hannah maybe even more than Isaac
Sandi, yes, they are the infamous strawberries! I still have 4 quart ziploc bags frozen in my freezer for future use. I’m trying to make them last as long as possible
We feel so blessed to have Hannah in our lives. She has so many unique qualities that make her a delight and a display of God’s beautiful creativity!
So sweet! Even before I read Mom’s comment, I was thinking…wow, that cake looks familiar! I feel like I am looking at pictures of myself at that age when I see Hannah. I can hardly believe our first children are already nine. Time is passing so very quickly, it seems. Give her a hug for me and let her know I love her.
