Happy St. Patrick's Day '12!

Last year, I wrote this post about St. Patrick's Day goodies. It has a couple of links to some yummy Bakerella desserts, so you should definitely check it out! ;-)

The other day, I came across a pin on Pinterest that made me want to click over to the actual site from where it was pinned so that I could enlarge it and read the entire thing. I highly suggest you click on this image and enlarge it and/or click on the source link to see it on history.com. It's a short read with some fun facts about St. Patrick's Day! I learned a thing or two, so I bet you will, too!

An easy St. Patrick's Day craft that shows the Trinity! All are separate petals, but still all a part of the same shamrock!

Care to give this tasty green treat a try? Frozen Pistachio Pie! This looks de-lish! Finally! A green dessert that isn't mint! :-)

Happy 17th Birthday, Hannah!

First off, I need to/want to say...

HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY, HANNIE!!!!

P.S. If you save this image, I will track you down and CUT you!

Hannah is my youngest sister. She was born on March 16, 1995 at 6:00am. She is bubbly, driven, talkative, inquisitive, compassionate, an animal lover, great with kids, giving, kind, and at times, obnoxious...but that may run in the family!

She had no idea I was doing that...until I posted it on her FB a couple of days later.
Heh.

Hannah is a good kid. She's a good teen in a world of delinquents. She makes wise decisions and focuses on the important things...most of the time. C'mon...no one's perfect...especially in our family! She constantly thinks of others, fights for what she believes in, and does her best to live her life according to what Jesus would do. Since she was little, she always made sure to include everyone, look after the underdog, and be a shining example to her peers. She has a heart of gold! I am so so proud of her!

Isn't she beautiful?
I took this picture of her and am darn proud of it!

Hannah plays soccer, plays the oboe and English horn (which is a new endeavor and Mom says she "beasts" at it), is in color guard in the marching band, volunteers in Kids Church at our church, takes AP/Honors classes, has a chinchilla named Lilly (who is a nocturnal animal that is afraid of the dark and requires a night light), and has a boyfriend named Zack who is flipping crazy about her.

I love you, HannahGirl! I hope you have a spectacular 17th birthday...at school! Hahaha! :-D But seriously, happy birthday, Baby Girl! I love you infinity and 'yond!
