Birthday Days: Day 1

Yesterday on Abby's birthday there were fun times to be had by all...

When she woke up she said, "Mom look at those decorations. They say Abby and Briton!" I was so impressed when I realized that the H was covered by a balloon. APPY sure looks a lot like Abby to me. (And BIRTday is pretty easy to confuse with BRITon.) What a smart girl!

We picked dad up early from work (and forgot to pick up his car afterwards - we always do that:) and headed to...

The Farms

While visting the horses, she was very concerned about how some of the horses were enclosed in large groups and others were in very small groups of 2 or 3 horses. She kept telling me that they were sad they weren't with their friends.

She especially connected with this sheep. She really wanted it to wear her crown.

Lots and lots of cows...

Briton enjoyed looking cute.

When we got home we had a special birthday dinner of chicken nuggets!

Then, a highlight of the evening...

Opening Presents
Thanks to uncles, aunts and cousins for some fun things (bows, masks, stickers, socks)!

Grandma and grandpa W. gave her a scripture case with her own Book of Mormon (and other fun-filled pockets).

Grandma and grandpa C. sent out yummy food and pots and pans for the new kitchen from mom and dad.

I don't have a picture of this one, but she also appreciated the socks from her baby brother! (She specifically asked to sleep in some of her Briton socks tonight.)

After presents, we ate cake. Here is a picture of the cake. This is what she said when she saw the cake: "Look, mom, it is a flower!"

We tried to convince her otherwise, but about as far as we got was: "It is a flower cake that is kind of a fish."

We love our girl! I love that she is such a happy little person. She is bright, cute and a great big sister. Mike and I feel so privileged to be her parents.

Stay tuned for Day 2.
