Hannah is 5 . . . Already?!

I can't believe that 5 years ago tonight I was laboring in the hospital eagerly awaiting your arrival.  You were a little stinker at the end of that pregnancy and it took all your Mommy had to get you here, but you finally arrived and you were PERFECT!!  As soon as Daddy and I saw your sweet little face for the first time, we were IN LOVE.  We had no idea what life was going to be like with a baby but we were ready for the adventure and you sure kept us on our toes!

  
Your daddy and I were so excited to bring you home and get to know you better.

You didn't have any trouble learning how to eat . . . in fact, the only problem we had was getting you to stop eating!
Hey, but you were hungry because you were busy playing and growing!
As soon as you were getting around on your own, you were curious, adventurous and independent.
You got into EVERYTHING!  We love your spunk!
You were such an active little girl and we were thrilled to find out that soon you would have a little brother to play with.  We knew you would be an amazing big sister!
Look at you!  Such a big girl . . . learning how to dress yourself.   So stylish!  Love the bloomers as outerwear!  :)
You were so excited when your brother was finally here because now you had the best playmate in the world!  And you know what, daddy and I were right, you were the most amazing big sister!
The two of you have had the best time together.  What a blessing to have a little brother!
You are a great friend.
You love to play with all of your cousins.  You are so lucky to have so many.
They can't help but love your sweet smile (and you know what, Daddy and I do too). 
We cannot believe that we have been blessed with such a special little girl in our home.  We have enjoyed every single second that we have spent with you and we can't wait for many, many more years together.  Watching you learn and grow, and getting to know you has been an absolute pleasure.
We love you more that words can express Hannah Bear.  Happy 5th Birthday!  
Love,
Mommy, Daddy and Isaac
