Happy Birthday, Abigail!

We wish our precious Abigail a happy 3rd birthday. Actually, it would be more accurate to say we hope she had a wonderful 3rd birthday. We were having so much fun yesterday that I didn't get a chance to post. We had party last Saturday at the park complete with friends and a Tinkerbell cake. Yesterday, the actual birthday, was spent at home with friends coming over with an Abby favorite "tiny doughnuts" (a.k.a. doughnut holes) and another cake last night with Josie.

Party at the park!!
Thank you, Lord, for the beautiful day.
Black olives were the favorite food of the 2-5
year old section of this population.


The Tinkerbell cake that she picked out and chose
her own colors!



Luckily, the colors look good on her.



The festivities soon moved to the playground to swing.

Then, back to the tables for balloon animals
and bubbles with Ben.


After the party and a nap, Abs got her
present from Mommy, Daddy, and Josie.


On Monday, Treva, Emma, and Nana Jean came over
the mountain for some birthday fun and to meet Josie!



Cake #2 for her actual birthday on Thursday.
She chose strawberry cake with chocolate icing.

It is amazing how much she has grown-up, even in the past two weeks. She is now pretty much daytime potty trained. We are contacting pre-schools for fall enrollment information. The most exciting part is that we have gone almost 4 whole days sans the beloved papi. I realize that the last one is as much my fault as hers. She was so attached to it and I am just the push-over mom that wanted her to be the one to give it up. However, earlier this week, she misplaced it, and even though I found it shortly after, I just kept up the story that it was lost. She asks about it when she gets tired. She was only allowed to have it when she was napping or going to bed at night). Anyway, all that to say, we are so proud of our big girl. She's been a blessing everyday and makes our hearts happy.
