Hannah's 12th birthday!

 Hannah had to come up with her own decorations for her party this year. I think she enjoyed it, though.

 

She asked for a snowflake cake, and it turned out that it snowed on the day of her party.

 We don't always get snow that works for snowballs and snowmen, but this was perfect. Even if it didn't last more than a few hours.

 Poor Ryan ended up half frozen and not at all happy by the end of our time outside. It's just never been worth it to actually buy gloves and boots worthy of playing in the snow.

Our snowman with pine straw hair and a mustache! His name was Mr. Muddy.

I had my 16-year-old nephew take the video, and it's a pretty good representation of the chaos we get when we all get together. Lots of fun. So, it turned out to be a great day. Even though it snowed, the roads were clear enough that everyone was still able to come to the party, and we had a great time. Can you believe she's 12?!
