Hannah Turns 6

My Hannah Noel - Today you are 6.  You are brave and willing to try new things.  You love the water and could swim for hours.  You are outgoing among your peers but shy of adults.  You make friends easily and are greeted by many with waves and hugs when I pick you up from school.  You love your siblings and take such good care of them.  You are very righteous and obedient.  You have a strong testimony of the power of prayer and our Heavenly Father's love for you.  You love church and have a goal to read the whole Book of Mormon.  You love to play "baby" with Jackson, pretending that he is your baby and you are the mom.  You are becoming less picky and are willing to try new foods, your favorites are salmon and yogurt.  You have to wear a uniform to school everyday, and do so without complaining, but you still prefer to wear loose fitting dresses...never shorts!  You do not like school and say you wish you could stay home with me.  You have severe test anxiety, which is probably why you do not like school.  You can read!  You are very good at math.  You are a perfectionist when it comes to your homework.  You love to watch movies.  You love to help cook and bake.  You love and miss your family in Utah.  You are silly and laugh a lot.  You love to have fun and hate to stay in the house for very long. You are generous and compassionate and worried about others' feelings.

Today for your birthday we went to Manuel Antonio, a National Park in Costa Rica.  You saw monkies, sloths, porcupines, bats, tree frogs and many other animals.  You saw a monkey on the beach and fed it grapes.  You said it was the best birthday ever because you got to feed a monkey.  When we got back to the hotel you opened presents, ate cake and ice cream and had a swimming party!

We love you our sweet little Christmas present.
