The Birthday Celebration Continues

It wasn't even 7:00 this morning before Hannah was in our bed asking to open her presents from us and Aunt Kim and Uncle Ed (I always save ours and Aunt Kim and Uncle Ed's gift for her actual birthday). Since we had church this morning, and plans the rest of the day, she went ahead and opened her presents.

For some reason, ever since Rachel became part of our family, it's a big thing for Hannah to get a gift from Rachel, and for Hannah to give Rachel a gift come birthdays and for Christmas. This is Rachel giving Hannah her present from her. After opening the last of the her presents, it was time to get ready for church. Here she is wearing her new outfit she got yesterday from friends, she looks waaay older than she should.After church we headed up towards Gramie's. Meeting Gramie and her friend for lunch at our favorite Mexican Restaraunt, we then went to the circus that was in Gramie's town. Steven broke the news to me yesterday that circuses no longer have animals, so I was pretty skeptical of just how good this circus could possibly be without elephants and lions and tigers. LOL. But much to my suprise, it was pretty good. The circus was called Circus Chimera, and it was a "unique, theatrical-style circus that celebrates the Circus Arts". These are just a few of the many pictures I took.

The acrobats did cartwheels, flips, and jumps through the hoops. Juggling their hats,
changing out the one on their heads while doing it. The final stunt was amazing or stupid, depending on how you look at it. LOL. It was a pretty intense stunt. First there was one motorcross riding all about inside the ball, then another one joined him. It was at this point that I said to Hannah "the birthday girl gets to do that next". I had no idea that the next thing was that a lady was going to go into the ball and stand in the middle while the two motorcross riders rode about her. LOL. My comment put Hannah into tears and she was mad at me for a couple of hours following that.After the circus, we said our goodbyes to Gramie and to her friend, and headed down the hill, stopping off at the mall to visit the Build a Bear Workshop so that Hannah could get her bear, Snow White, a birthday present, as today was her birthday as well. From there we called Gramma and Papa and asked if they wanted to meet us at BJ's for dinner. We had a great meal and ended it with a mass feeding frenzy of the two Pizzookies. LOL. The birthday girl's day ended with putting up her castle for her bear, and looking over some of the presents she's gotten. An end to another weekend of a birthday celebration. She's officially 7 years old now...and the clock proves it!
