(Elmo of course, Abby's favorite right now), and we opened presents. Cam and I went in together with my parents and bought Abby a little kitchen set.
I'm hoping that once the baby comes, Abby will be content to play in her room with the kitchen while I am feeding and rocking the baby. We'll see! But for now, she loves it and wants me to "eat" food with her all the time. She also got a few more toys, and my Mom got her some books for Sacrament meeting. I think she is old enough to graduate to "churchy" activities only during Sacrament meeting, so hopefully these new books keep her entertained. Abby had so much fun opening presents, eating cake and ice cream and playing with the balloons.
Then, yesterday, we had a little party, so that Cam's family could also celebrate her birthday. So, once again, I made an Elmo cake, we opened presents and played. While in Colorado, I got the materials to make a quilt for Abby and for the new baby. I worked a lot on it and finished Abby's just a few days ago. So I gave that to her for her "second" birthday party.
Since it was a special occasion, we let Abby stay up late, and she had tons of energy (probably from the cake and ice cream) and jumped and danced with her cousin Hyrum.
It's so nice to spend time with his family because it's only a few more weeks until Ethan goes to the MTC. I think we all are treasuring the chances to all be together.
