Hannah Turns Ten

Hannah turned ten this year and had a major sleep over with a few friends. They made their own pizzas, played games, had a scavenger hunt, worked on a quilt and enjoyed homemade birthday pazookies (You must try one)... and all that was before bed. It was enough to wear Lido out!

But we all (15 of us) finally made it and delighted in just being together in that beautiful, warm place!
