Hannah is 14....

So here she is. 

She is 14. 

I can. not. believe it.

She wanted to have a party...so, keeping it creative, she decided to have a winter "let's camp inside" thing! Perfect. Although....we needed to go to the Olive Garden. After all, it had been a tradition since she turned ONE.

Back to our place to have some cuties help her unwrap some prizes.

Some special goodies from Grandma/Grandpa...and all of us.

She's one special little lady, ya know.

Big wishes made.

So then the troops came. I couldn't resist taking a picture of these shoes.

I was detecting a pattern here.

I was also detecting of "whoa, I feel old...I used to wear these as a kid!"

Okay. I am going to confess:

These girls ATE US OUT OF HOUSE AND HOME!

Loved the noise, the silliness...the fun.

The 7 campers slept upstairs in our tent that Daddy so graciously put up in the TV room.
