Party Time

We had a little family party for Abby's birthday on Sunday, October 29th. Abby was happy that she got to open more presents than the 4 she got on her actual birthday...I think she was feeling a little gipped. She enjoyed the party, although she was a bit shy around all the guests and kept burying her face in Nana's shoulder. She made out pretty good on gifts--she now has quite the wardrobe for fall and winter (much to mom's delight!), a few new books to enjoy (also a plus for mom, as the good old favorites were memorized months ago and mom needs some fresh material), and some highly entertaining toys. Anyone who wants to hokey pokey with Elmo can feel free to stop on by. Enjoy the photos....

Here's Abby in her party dress with her co-celebrants Great-Grandpa and Uncle Tim.

Cupcake time. Bottoms up!

Abby's favorite silly face to make at mommy while she is eating.

Happy family :-)

Happy Birthday Abby!

We can't believe it, but Abby is 1 year old today! Here are some shots of her enjoying her presents from mom & dad and tearing into her oh-so-yummy dairy-free cupcake. She is looking forward to her party on Sunday when she can have another one!
