Making a Home – Happy Birthday!

We had a birthday this week! My beautiful Hannah America turned 16. Yes, her middle name is America. My grandmother’s name was America.

Hannah had a slumber party for her birthday, then had to go to volleyball practice that afternoon. The girls didn’t go to sleep until AFTER 4:30 a.m. So you know they were dragging at 3 o’clock practice. Somehow, they managed to get through it. lol

I made cupcakes for her birthday this year. I talked to her volleyball coach ahead of time, and got permission to bring cupcakes for after practice. Hannah didn’t know this. The kids and I managed to get the cupcakes in the van without Hannah knowing it. So she was really surprised at practice. Score one for mom! lol Hey, when you homeschool, and your kids are around all the time, it’s really hard to surprise them, as they see everything. lol

I found a volleyball graphic online, edited in the free editing software I use to add her name to it. I then glued two volleyballs together with a toothpick in the center. They made cute little cupcakes, perfect for having after volleyball practice. 🙂

And later that night, the birthday girl with one of the cupcakes at the family celebration. Which to due to circumstances, was at about 10 at night. Which explains why she looks like she’s about to fall over. lol Remember the 4:30 a.m. sleep time? lol

Happy 16th Birthday, Hannah!
