Abby's 1st Birthday

I can't believe my little munchkin turned 1!!! It's just amazing to me how much she's grown up and how much God has blessed us in the past year. Abby started out her birthday in style with an oatmeal facial (she decided to smear her breakfast all over her face). After that she watched a little Baby Einstein, played with the puppies and took a good nap to rest up for all that was in store the rest of the day.

After her nap and lunch she then moved on to a session of afternoon reading before getting ready for her party.


Grandma decorated her ladybug cake and we were so happy with how it turned out!



That evening was the party and there were a lot of people that came - she was so fortunate to get all these nice gifts! Thanks to everyone that was able to come and celebrate with us it meant a lot!

Now this was definitely not her first time eating cake but it was her first time we let her eat it without a fork...she wasn't too sure what to do - I think she was more excited about all the friends that came to celebrate with her.

It's amazing how quickly time flies during the evening and with it being a school night most of her friends had to leave before she could even open presents. We couldn't believe how much she got and all we kept thinking was where are we going to put everything!

The next day Dustin had off so we got all her presents out and assembled them. The puppies were pretty excited about all the new things Abby brought home.

Mom and I knew that we had to do something with all the clutter since the living room was becoming the baby toy room, so we re-organized the office so that half of it is Abby's play room. After Christmas the rest of the room will become Abby's permanent room as Abby's current room will become the Twins nursery. You got to get creative when you're going to have 2 adults, 1 toddler, 2 babies and 2 puppies living in a 3-bedroom house. So we finally got our living room back and Abby now loves her new play room.
