I can hardly believe that my little girl turned 13. She has seemed older than her age for a long time, but now it's official - she has entered the teen years! She is no longer a little girl, but a lovely, young woman who is full of compassion, joy, and kindness. She is blossoming into a young lady that I am very proud of.
This year we gave her a camera of her own to use in her photography - and she was absolutely surprised (I think!) and happy!
She was tickled with Jacob's gift and wanted to give him a sisterly hug, but he wanted no part of it. Typical brother... But good for Hannah - she doesn't give up or take no for an answer!
Hannah made her own cake again this year - she is so talented at the decorating. She decorated this cake with an amazing tree full of owls... There is no picture that does it justice - I am so proud of her. It was absolutely stunning.
Danny continued the tradition of a rose for each year. I remember when she was little we used to joke and laugh about the day that she would pass up the one dozen mark and he would have to buy two dozen to give her 13... And yep - he did. I can't believe that day is here already!
One of the owls she sculpted out of fondant... so beautiful.
Happy birthday my sweet, darling girl. I love you more than you will ever fathom. I loved our getaway to the Ritz and the memories we made there! What a special birthday!!
