So, I will start my life back into the blogging world by saying a very belated Happy 5th Birthday to our BIG girl, Abby! We had a birthday party for her on her actual birthday at our house right after school let out. I would venture to say the almost all of her classmates made the less than one mile trip over to celebrate with us. We decorated gingerbread houses, had cupcakes from a fantastic little place here in town, and opened gifts. It was lots of fun, and we were very excited to surprise her (and Beau) with the news that we would be leaving for Disneyworld the next morning! I am a bit embarrassed of the lack of pictures of her birthday. It got quite hectic with a full house and lots going on at once.Abby is such a joy in our lives, and has been from the moment she joined us 5 years ago. She is beautiful on both the inside and out! A few things about Abby at the ripe old age of 5:
-Abby is a smart cookie. She has an excellent memory and loves to learn. Working in her workbooks and learning to read ranks right up there with playing with any toy. She got a Leapster for Christmas and would spend hours on it playing Outwit and I Spy if we let her.
-She loves her little brother. He is not very nice to her sometimes, but she takes it all in stride and still sticks up for him, even when he doesn't deserve it. She is incredibly generous and shares even her most prized possessions with him. She is a great big sister.
-She is very nurturing - loves to cover everyone up with a blanket, give foot rubs (yay for us), get you something to eat, hug and kiss on everyone, etc. I love that about her. She loves very freely and unconditionally.
-Abby loves babies. She asks when I am going to have another one on almost a daily basis. She is ecstatic that she is about to have a new niece and a new little baby girl next door.
-She loves to dress up-is quite a fashionista even at an early age. She loves to go shopping and get new clothes, wear new clothes, look at catalogues or even browse sites on the computer with Mommy!
We are so excited that God has blessed us with such a truly special and sweet little person to be our little girl! Happy Birthday, Abby!
