Happy Birthday Abbi

Abbi turned 7 yesterday on January 15th. This cute girl has a heart of gold. She's stubborn, but really tries to choose the right, and does. Abbi loves to learn. She is an excellent reader, and is also great with math and science. Everything about school excites her right now. She loves dogs and horses, and wants both as pets! She has wanted to be a veterinarian for the last 3 years, and is still sticking to it. She wants to be a professional soccer player, a drummer, wants to learn to play the piano, the flute, and the guitar...whew. There is of course so much a mom could say about her little girl, but we love our Abba Zambizi. She is a dedicated friend, and great example and help as a sister, and we love and adore her!!!

Late Night Pajama Party

Abbi had a late night birthday party on Thursday, and she invited 14 cute little girls. We had a blast! The played a killer game of hide and seek, ghost in the graveyard, a new game we discovered called sleeping beauty, there was a pillow fight, we ate cake and ice cream and cookie sandwiches, opened presents, watched a movie, ate popcorn, and then played more games. It was a super fun time, and after everyone left and all the cleaning up was taken care of we all fell asleep in about 2 minutes, and got a great night sleep!!

Christmas 2009

We open a present on christmas eve. They of course get jammies. This was the best picture I could get sadly. Brynn didn't even need to open it, she just loved holding her present.
Wow! She even has straight hair...maybe next year I will remember NOT to put my kids in pigtails on Christmas eve! (I'm sure she will look back and laugh someday though.)
Down and straight. That's one in three.
Reese will be curly no matter what, so it's just extra crazy and fun.
Abbi and Reese bought this baby for Brynn because they knew she would love it. They were right, she adores All of her babies in her huge collection, and she was very excited to welcome a new friend.

Andy takes the girls on dates sometimes. This one was Abbi's idea. She received tickets to a flash game at school and asked her daddy if he wanted to go out with her. I think it's funny that mommy wasn't even considered... nope, just daddy dates.

I little nostril flare never hurt anyone.

Abbi went to a friend's party a while back, and they had some professionals come and do... well, this! I think it is so beautiful!
