Hanna has been counting down the days until her 16th birthday for more than 100 days. For the last month, she set this reminder to pop up on my phone every day at 6 pm to plan her surprise birthday party. We laughed about it every day that the surprise party might not be a surprise if you know about it.
March 24 finally came. We had our birthday breakfast of sticky buns, bacon and chocolate milk.
Jill, Hanna and Lucy went to the temple after school to do baptisms for the dead.
We actually did plan a surprise party and Hanna didn't know because we kind of acted like we didn't really do anything about it. We decided to have Jill take Hanna and Madison Leishman and Madison Barfuss to Waterton to do a friends photo shoot. More of Hanna's friends came over while they were gone to our party trailer. When Jill brought them back, she took them to the trailer and told them we were eating dinner there. Hanna and the Maddies walked in and everyone jumped out and yelled surprise! She was surprised. We did it!
We had chicken fettucine, cesar salad, breadsticks and ice cream cake. Someone said they should go around the room and have everyone say something nice about Hanna. Mitch Olsen said, "You made junior high worth living." They hung out laughing, talking and eating and then they went to the stake dance.
Happy 16th birthday to Hanna!
A week after her birthday, Hanna took her test to get her driver's license. She didn't pass the first time because a car was coming and she started to go, and so the driver's teacher had to tell her to stop. She was so mad. I mean really mad that she didn't pass. She didn't want to go back to school. But she took it again a week later, and she passed. She is an official driver!!!!
