Hannah turns 13!!

We celebrated Hannah's 13th birthday on Saturday. The festivities actually started on Friday evening when Matt and I threw her surprise party here at our house. My dad got her to babysit while we decorated and got her friends to the house. Boy, was she SURPRISED!! We had a Hannah Montana karaoke party and sleepover. We had 9 girls here to spend the night. It was so crazy!! They sang karaoke until about 3am when Matt told me to go take away the microphone. At 4am I had to tell them to GO TO BED!! They were so loud!! I had given them a few rules like 1) don't go outside, 2) don't go on the computer and 3) no getting on the phone before going to bed myself around 12am. I apparently forgot to mention the rule about not warming up pizza in the toaster. Yes, the toaster!! They got hungry after eating all the nachos and 60 cookies that I left out for them so they tried to warm up pizza not in the microwave (because they didn't think they would be allowed to use it) but in the regular toaster. They finally drifted off into dreamland one by one sometime between 4am-5am after eating, drinking, singing and giving each other makeovers. I got up the next morning and made them blueberry muffins with OJ, milk and bananas and counted down the minutes until 9am when moms were to show up.

What a night!!!

Surprise! This was Hannah coming in the door....

Hannah and Noelle sang the first song, "If We Were a Movie".





On her actual birthday we took her and the kids to Ichiro, a Japanese Steakhouse. We all had chicken and watched in amazement as they cook it in front of us with lots of animation. I didn't get any pictures of this dinner. We charged the camera batteries from her party but forgot the camera when we left.

She combined some of her birthday money and bought this bike and helmet. She had outgrown her bike years ago and needed another one.
