Greetings all,
We had an excellent weekend with Abby’s birthday. She has been growing so quickly. It’s amazing to think of how small she was way back when.
We had a Fancy Nancy Tea Party. Tricia and Anna really made the house look great. Decorations were everywhere. The girls got to make butterflies and friendship bracelets. They had a makeover. Then they had Tea on REAL CHINA! Presents and birthday cake followed.
All in all, it was a great day and Abby couldn’t have been happier.
So, now, the photographic evidence of the event.
Enjoy,
J

Here is Abby with her butterfly.
Abby opening her gift from Miss Lydia. IT’S A MATCHING DRESS!! Now they can be twinsies! (I think I’ve reached my “exclamation point” quota)
Abby with her Jessie the Cowgirl costume. Jessie is from Toy Story and is one of Abby’s favorite characters.

Ellie and Kobe showing off their new 7/8-month-old skill – SITTING UP!
Ellie liked watching the flash go off over my shoulder.
Here is the Birthday cake Tricia and Auntie Anna made. Notice the handmade chocolate decorations on the icing. Different colors and everything. The cake was a huge hit!
Enjoying sandwiches, fruits, and veggies. All served with REAL tea. Well, as real as 2tablespoons of Lipton mixed with 1tablespoon of sugar and half a cup of milk CAN be.
Passing out sustenance.
It’s time to sing the birthday song (cha-cha-cha)
Abby blowing out the large candle on the top of her cake. She really wanted a giant “six” at the top of the cake.
Here they are…all dressed up in their Fancy outfits. What a good looking group of girls.
Looks like it was a really fun day! Love the butterfly/Princess theme and craft project! Great job on the cake! When did Ellie start sitting up? My goodness time is passing too quickly! Wish we could have been there to join in on the celebration. We were certainly there in thought! Happy 6th Birthday Abby! Looking forward to seeing you all soon and enjoying a belated birthday celebration.
