Hannah's 8th Birthday Party

Hannah celebrated her 8th birthday complete with a beauty pageant, sleepover with friends from school, bowling and the typical cake (Carey made a delicious ice cream cake) and presents. There were many giggles and smiles as the girls did not want to go to sleep (they probably succumbed at around 1 am). As a tribute to my daughter on this special day, I wrote her a haiku. A haiku, according to Google, is: "a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables." I remember when I was about her age having an assignment in school to write a haiku. (I know the last line has 6 syllables...I probably didn't do much better in grade school).

My blue-eyed princess
Always daddy's little girl
Playful, thoughtful, shining
