It's hard to believe that 4 years ago we became parents for the first time, but here we are with a 4 year old now.
This is still one of my favorite pictures. Abby was a very happy baby, just had to keep her fed and changed and life was good. If only it was still that easy.....
I decided to make a gumball machine cake. Abby is obsessed with getting gumballs when we are out or chewing gum when we are home. It's a new privilege that she enjoys, especially since Megan can't do it.
We kept things small scale this year - no bounce houses or 30+ people at the house, just plain and simple.Abby had chosen her outfit for the evening - pajamas!
Blowing out the cake - thankfully not lighting her hair on fire.
Enjoying mostly the frosting with the M&M's.
Megan hasn't met a cake she didn't like yet.
Neither has Lily!
Opening some presents - a new hair kit for getting ready in the morning - which she used this morning with me of course. We now have to factor in more time for her hair and make up before we go somewhere. She is such a girly girl - I have no idea where she gets it from.
The present from Mom & Dad - what could it be?
Reinforcements have jumped in to assist in the unwrapping.
I think Megan was just as excited as Abby was.
But it's an empty box???
Doesn't matter - just as fun to plan in. Megan is already fully inside.
This is Abby looking downstairs for the dollhouse - she was in motion so there is the blurry effect but the hands on her hips and saying "Hey, you tricked me" was priceless.
Checking out the furniture. The Barbies moved in shortly after that.Overall it was a very nice, quick, relaxing evening. Abby is happy and can't wait to play with everything when she gets home. She is having cupcakes at pre-school today so the birthday bonanza is continuing.
This week my friend Colleen is flying in from NC and we are headed south to Rogersville, MO to visit the Cowan family and their new addition Allison. Abby & Ashley will be reunited again - only 4 more sleeps!
