Hannah's latest and greatest

Here is what Hannah has been up to lately.

Riding her new tricycle.  Nathan found this at a garage sale for $10 (normally they are over $100).

Playing at her "new" kitchen.  I found this a few weeks ago at a garage sale for $7 (again, normally over $100).  I ended up making her some fake felt food too, as you can see some of it in this photo.

Riding in the cool shopping carts at the grocery store.  She has issues if we ride in any of the normal carts.

Going to the dentist.

Going down slides over, over, and over again at local parks.

And she also likes playing with other things at the parks, like driving this fire truck.

Father's Day -- 2013

I was so excited for Father's Day this year.  I have been planning this since December -- not kidding.

I used the "Dad's Root Beer" theme idea from Pinterest (like the one I used for our YW Daddy Daughter activity) to decorate for the occasion.  We had 2 couples over to help celebrate the festivities.  We ate beef brisket, cheese potatoes, fresh strawberries from our guests garden, and root beer floats for dessert.  

But the most I was excited for was Nathan's gift.  I wrapped his gift and made a little tie with a handkerchief to make it "manly."

 Here is Nathan with the card that Hannah made (I had to help her make it).  I used her hands to create the front and back of the card.

And here is Nathan with his Father's Day gift.  I had a really nice poster board made with his priesthood line of authority, and I framed it.  I have been working on this since Nathan became a high priest in December so you can see why I was really excited to see him open it.  Thankfully, he loved it!
