Happy Birthday Abbey!

My little girl is 8! I can't believe it!!! Happy Birthday Abbey! We started of the crazy day with her opening presents from us. She wanted books and to get her ears pierced. She also got a Taylor Swift cd and some magnetix. Our family has almost every song on the cd memorized by now! :) As Abbey was opening her presents Landen sat with his pretend camera and directed her to say, "Cheese!" and to look at him! It was so cute! Bryce took a picture of him taking a picture of Abbey.





This is the year for a friend party and with the 100 degree days a water party worked out perfectly! Abbey has some fantastic friends and I couldn't believe that with 12 girls there weren't any "cat fights'" rude remarks or power struggles. They were all very polite and so much fun to have over! Abbey chose snow cones and chocolate chip cookies for her birthday treats and they were a hit!






Once we had the party cleaned up we headed off to the mall to get Abbey's ears pierced. Her cousin, Hannah, came along for fun and good moral support. Abbey seemed nervous but wouldn't admit to it. She quickly picked out the earrings she liked and was ready to get the show moving. She didn't even flinch when they did it! She has been contemplating having them peirced for a few years and has seen too many girls screaming and crying in the mall to have her commit until now. She looks really cute with them pierced and has LOVED taking care of them and looking in the mirror at them.










Abbey is very sweet, helpful, shy, talkative (I know that sounds weird to be talkative and shy... but she is both), independent and an artist. She is an excellent big sister to her brothers andwe can hardly wait for her to be able to babysit for us!!! :)
Some of Abbey's favorites:
*Reading
*Doing art projects
*Chocolate!
*Money - she is a good saver!
*Playing the piano... but not practicing!
*Singing
*Gymnastics
*Swimming
Some of Abbey's dislikes:
*Cleaning her room
*Not being in charge
*Chinese food
Happy Birthday Abbey!!! We hope you had a great day and we love you so much!!!
