Hannah turned 18 two days after Thanksgiving. How can this be?! She gave me a list of requests and we tried to accommodate as many as possible. Top on her list was hibachi grill and sushi. So we went to a hibachi grill on Friday with my parents since they were in town for Thanksgiving.

On Saturday, her actual birthday we started the day off piling in the van to go get our Christmas tree. Normally, we don't get our tree this early, BUT we have been searching for a decent place to cut down a tree or even buy a decent precut tree here in Texas. And we heard of this place an our away that was only open for three weekends, and one of them had already passed us by. So we decided to do it anyway, although I had had my reservations about the tree living until the 12 days after Christmas if we bought it that early. Turned out I was right. It was crispy as toast by Christmas day. Nonetheless, we went to this farm the morning of her birthday and we stopped to get her coffee on the way.

| Brian said that it was the easiest tree to cut down, and we fondly remembered cutting down our Griswald Family Tree years ago in Germany when we had super high ceilings and let Hannah choose the tree. |
Hannah opened her presents from the family and cards from her siblings. Then she went to dinner with her dad for all you can eat sushi.

Here's her creepy creative cake that I made her. |
Shortly after her birthday weekend was her drama production of the Greek play, Antigone. She is super shy in front of people so she volunteered to be the assistant stage production manager. She's in the black sweatshirt on the far right of the back row. The play was really enjoyable. I had read this play for my book club a year or two ago and it was really nice to see it performed. Her class did an excellent job!

She's finished with theater and can move on to Art class where she feels much more at home.
