Happy Birthday Abby!

Abby is six now! It's hard to believe how quickly kids grow! She is a beautiful little girl with a beautiful big soul. She loves playing with her brother and sister. She loves to sing -- in Sacrament Meeting she sits quietly, writing her own music. She loves to dance. And quite recently she has discovered that she loves theatre! Saturday she performed in "Pinocchio" as a toy ballerina. She loved going to practice, she loved performing, and she really enjoyed going out after the show to Applebee's with some of the cast. Abby was starstruck! She was so overjoyed to be eating dinner with the actor who played Pinnochio.

Last Saturday we celebrated her birthday at our new house is Denver :-) I am so thankful for good friends who brought their cute little girls with very little notice! We had a princess party. Abby instructed me that we needed everything pink... streamers, balloons, presents, etc. So... We went nuts with the streamers :-) It was fun!

They got to make their own candy bracelets. They were very careful about the patterns they produced!Will didn't want to wait for cupcakes... so to keep him quiet (I know... bad mom!) I gave him his cupcake early. He liked the frosting!

Makenzie volunteered to be in charge of "pin the tail on the donkey". She is a great helper!

Good sports! We love you Robert!

We did cupcakes so each child could blow out a candle. They were funny. It was breezy and hard to light the candles... so we sang quickly, then they just stood there. Not blowing out candles. I had to tell them to blow them out.

And last, but not least, we got a cute little Tinkerbell pinata. Thank goodness a friend from our new ward hung out while Robbie was hanging it in the tree. We were fully prepared to beat the thing till candy spilled out. Apparently we got the "girly" pinata. You take turn pulling streamers, till someone pulls the magic streamer and it pours out!I LOVE the look on her face as she watched the candy pour out! So much excitement for cheap bubblegum!
Abby was thrilled with all of her gifts, but more thrilled just to play with her friends.
