We have a 7 year old. It seems crazy. We are too young to have a seven year old, aren't we?Hannah Banana is truly growing up. So scary. So fun. So humbling.
She is such a good girl. Hannah has quite a few loves. Reading. Encyclopedias. Owls. Crafts. Horses. Art. Pizza. Science.
Her birthday celebrations included a little of everything. The people who love her, know her well, and brought her such fun presents. 
Like books, a bead kit, an owl and a horse Pet Shop toy, 
a gift certificate to Brushfire (a kiln place), 
a science experiment in a bottle, a human skeleton puzzle, porcelain dolls, sidewalk chalk, 
a glitter ball, a space encyclopedia, a subscription to National Geographics Explorer, and more.

On her birthday, the first graders were doing a Teddy Bear Day. I forgot to put her teddy bear in her backpack. I felt terrible. I just knew that her whole day was going to be ruined because they were doing activities all day including their bear. So at lunch time I took her bear to her school. We got to sit with her for a few minutes at lunch and see her in her element. She didn't seem too torn up over the bear, and so the day was saved. In the evening, she wanted to go on a date with her dad. So they headed to Pirate Island Pizza. Just the two of them. They had a great time, and Hannah seemed like she had a good day.
Her aunt Kare Bear made the coolest pink princess castle cake for her birthday party. 
Hannah was in awe! I wish I could have had a picture of her face when she saw the cake. Priceless. I hope Karen realizes that she has revealed the secret of her cake supremacy, and now the expectations are going to be higher. No more standard sheet cakes after these last few creations!

For the party with my family, I decided to try a technique I saw in a magazine where you melt starburst candies and roll out the mixture onto wax paper. Then you cut out your designs and lay it out on the cake. It looks a little ghetto, but it tasted yummy...and Hannah liked it.
Enjoying the splash pad at party number 847.
Happy Birthday Banana-bean. We love you to the moon, and back again.

Wow! You must be getting old! haha Birthday's are so fun! And I totally want to try out the starburst cake idea. It looks yumm-o!
I've been waiting for this post to see whether Hannah got a glitter ball for her birthday. I was ready to give her a belated gift if she didn't. :)
She's such a wonderful kid (as are all your children).
I'm glad you survived another round of birthdays. Ahhhhh...now you can rest for the next 10 months (wouldn't that be nice!?)
Wow, talk about cool presents and a fun birthday! I think using starburst as fondant is a great idea.
Happy Birthday, Hannah!
One birthday right after another for you guys. Holy cow! The Starburst deco on the cake are so clever! You'll have to start a separate blog for birthday celebrations/cakes. :)
