{A Tween}

Today was a celebration all about my 10 year old Hannah. Her school teacher, Mrs. Lewis introduced her to the "tween" term and ever since she's been anxious to become a tween. Her dad and I. . . not so much anxious to have a tween : ( This year wasn't a party year, but she got to invite her best friend, Morgan, over to help her celebrate. She took Krispy Kreme Donuts to her school class. We had her requested broccoli cheddar soup and home made bread for dinner. She wanted an ice cream cake with chocolate cake and mint chocolate chip ice cream layers, her favorite color white frosting and sour skittle polka dots. (FYI: ice cream does not frost easily) We finished off the night watching the movie Ice Princess.

She opened a few gifts, including art and a purse from Morgan, a scentsy warmer and yummy scents from Gma & Gpa Dredge, the always loved money from Gma & Gpa Reynolds, a necklace from Emma and hair bandies from Ben. When it came the gift from Jake and I, she was a little skeptical about it being only an envelope. I had been asking her for over a month for ideas and she couldn't really think of anything. I guess she either has too many things already or she's satisfied with what she has. Honestly, I'm grateful it's more the later. Anyway, back to the envelope. . . it contained tickets to go with me to a Taylor Swift concert in November. She was beyond excited!! And I might be just a little bit excited to go with her : )
