More Birthday Celebration

What does a 2 year old birthday look like? Well, I am sure they vary from child to child, but with our Abby Grace simple, small, and Hello Kitty were in order. Abby is very shy, which you probably noticed if you watched the video of us singing to her, so we didn't want to overwhelm her with a party. All she wanted to do was go swimming, eat chicken strips with french fries and have Kitty Cake! And that is exactly what we did!

As we were eating our dinner by the pool, Brent had the idea of interviewing each person in our family about something they love about Abby. The one that is shown here is our 3rd take. We had limited recording time on the camera, and kept running short. In this case, the third time really was the charm!

Here is a glimpse of what a 2 year old birthday looked like at our house!











We ended our day of celebrating with chocolate cake and ice cream.



We love you Abby Grace! Thank you Lord for our precious little girl! Happy, Happy Birthday!

Abby's TWO!

Today is Abby's 2nd birthday! Wow, where does the time go? She awoke to our tradition of presents by the door, but had to wait until after 9am to open them. I was awake from 4-6:30 with various kiddos and so needed to sleep a bit longer!

The theme of the day is "Hello Kitty"and it is way too much fun! She received a Hello Kitty Build a Bear, some Hello Kitty Rainboots and a Hello Kitty backpack! She also got a new princess trike...something she is LOVING! Here are some morning pictures...






Before she opened her presents we sang to her and there is a little clip below. She is very shy, even with us...that is why we will be celebrating with just our family today!



Happy Birthday my dear, sweet Abby Grace! We love you very much! More to come later...
