Abby had a blissful, laid-back 5th birthday. She got her big present in the morning, which distracted her and Olivia much of the day. Who looks more excited? Love it when you can get double the use out of presents! I'm guessing our boy-to-come will just want the chuck the furniture around...
Abby wanted her hair curled for her party that night so we spent some time glamouring up.
...And did more of it at the PJ party that night!
And here's the cake. So I realized a half hour before the party that I bought gel food coloring, not decorative gel icing... so the flower pattern on the bed quilt wasn't quite what I wanted, but still tasted good :)
Luckily all the girls at the party were just as girly as Abby, so everything was a hit and they played great together (not to mention her loving all their gifts).
I'm so grateful for my sweet girl, and am proud of who she is becoming! I just can't believe I have to start the whole early morning school thing already (Kindergarten 7:30 to 2:30--WHAT?!)... but I know she'll do great!
Love ya, Abby!
Love ya, Abby!

nice job mare! i bet you're the coolest mom on the block--looks like she had a great birthday.
Cute party idea! Abby and Olivia look adorable as always. I have to admit I'm a little excited to play with that house next time I come to visit. Pretending only goes so far. You are right about the little brother. Whenever Ben or Shaun were "forced" to play doll house there would be earthquakes, tornadoes, people falling out of windows and crazy visitors who would destroy the house. They always got the reaction they wanted.
Happy Birthday, Abby!
...what are the results on the baby name?
Too cute, Mary! That cake is impressive! Happy Birthday, Abby!
