Mary Hannah is 7!

 Friday was Mary Hannah's birthday!!
She wanted a "piano" birthday, since she started playing this past year.
My cake turned out a little curvy...Oh, well....the kiddos didn't mind!
 I always decorate with streamers and balloons,
 and I thought it was a surprise in the morning every year for them, 
but she asked the day before what color the streamers were.....that I kept a surprise!!
I blew up pink, black and white balloons for about an hour the night before!
 This little girl is so sweet and special.
She's so loving and kind and thoughtful.
She has a tough exterior, but is soft as mush and has a heart of gold.
We had our First Friday Homeschool Mass and picnic scheduled so it was perfect, 
she invited a friend and it was a blast!


She said several times, "This is the best birthday ever Mama!"
Well, good, I always hope each year is the "best birthday ever"!
God bless you my sweet girl!
7 is Heaven!
(2 more birthdays coming this week)

  4. What fun! Happy birthday! And I too think the cake turned out great. I love the curviness and would never have thought it was a "mistake" unless you hadn't mentioned it. :)

  6. Thanks everyone!! The keys are made with Dark Chocolate Kit Kats...had to look for those in a couple stores!! The white keys are just pressed a little with a knife.

  16. God bless you, sweet Goddaughter, on your "age of reason" birthday - 7 is Heaven!!

    Loved your sweet music and wavy piano - looks like you had a great time.

    Wish we could have been there for a bday hug and kiss! I remember holding you in the hospital. You were so darling - then and now.

    You were remembered at Mass and rosaries. Look for a package soon!
