So we had Hannah's party on Sunday, I say it was a big success.
Okay pictures in order, Hannah sitting in her special birthday chair. The giant snowflake I made out of popsicle sticks. Cheese string snowmen. "Ice cubes', make with marshmallows dipped in white chocolate and sprinkles. Igloo cheese ball and crackers. Giant cupcake birthday cake. Hannah opening some of her presents with help from an older cousin. Hannah eating her cupcake.
Other highlights; a hot chocolate bar, lots of handmade snowflakes and lots of streamers lol. Got lots of p.j.'s (which is what I asked for) and a fair amount of money to put aside in an RESP.
