Harrison's 15th Birthday Celebration

It's hard to believe that this guy could turn into...

this guy in just 15 short years

Harrison turned 15 on February 4th of this year. He's growing up to be a really great young man. There wasn't a lot of hoopla around his birthday this year, either. Everything was pretty low key. He was taken out to dinner by my parents and they also bought him a new suit. Then, on his actual birthday, we went out to dinner to Red Lobster (one of his favorite places); and we had some ice cream cake when we got home. The Friday after his birthday, Harry took Harrsion and three friends (Sam, Gabe, and Dillon) to a Thrasher's game. Thank heavens for $1 drinks, popcorn, and hot dogs! Those boys can definitely eat. They had a great time together; and apparently got their pictures taken with the Thrashers Ice Girls...ooh la la!

You can definitely tell they are teenage boys. They've come a long way from their Cub Scout Day camp days.

Oh and if anyone is wondering, Harrison won't be getting his Learner's Permit to drive until he submits his paperwork to get his Eagle project approved (Mom's rules).

Hannah's Birthday Celebration

We didn't really have a big to-do for Hannah's birthday this year. She is getting her room redecorated for her present from us; and that is taking a lot of time and money. On her actual birthday, she had me make her an ice cream treat called Frozen S'mores. YUMMY!
Here's the recipe for Frozen S'mores



On Saturday, she had a pizza luncheon after gymnastics practice with her team . The girls are so much fun and so funny to be around. They had a good time.

Then, that evening, Hannah's best friend, Gaby, came over for a sleepover. She was wearing a piece of a "Best Friends" bracelet, and Hannah commented on it. Gaby told her that, "my really good friend has the other piece." When Hannah opened her birthday present from Gaby, she realized that she had the other piece. She was so happy. We are so grateful to have Gaby and her family in our lives. It was a good birthday. When we get Hannah's room done, we'll post pictures.
