Abby's 5th birthday

Abby had her birthday!  I know I say it all the time, but I can't believe how old these kids are getting.

Abby's been obsessed with the movie "Brave" ever since she saw it, so we surprised her with a "Brave" themed party.  She thought it was going to be Hello Kitty, but I had Cam take her out for a little while so I could decorate the house in a "Brave" theme.


Lexi wanted to be in the spot light too

Cam's family came over for the party, we also celebrated Ethan's birthday which was just a week before.

The kids played my "Brave" version of pin the tail on the donkey, then we had a Nerf gun that they could shoot at a bullseye.  That was fun.

I love how this one captures Abby saying "OHHH!" when Lexi nailed the bulls eye 

Singing Happy Birthday.  Abby is thrilled. Ethan, not so much.




Nearly every present was a "Brave" something or other.  Toys, backpack, blanket, she is totally set.

What is Abby up to now that she's one year older?

  • Obviously, the most exciting thing is she is starting kindergarten!
  • She's going to start up dance classes again.  This year she is doing a ballet class
  • She's a little social bee.  She wants to play with her friends everyday.
  • She's very particular about the clothes, shoes and how her hair is done.  Usually she wears a dress, flip flops, and her hair down.
  • Her all time favorite thing to do is draw/color.  She spends so much time at her little art table making pictures.
  • She loves playing outside.  Outback, the park, where ever.
  • She is very curious about everything.  Always asking a million questions about everything.  I feel like she has an in depth understanding of astronomy, weather systems, and so much more.
