First Day of School

It's that time of year again! Abbie is a big 1st grader now and loving it. She wasn't nervous at all to go to school. In fact, if you ask her what her favorite part of being in 1st grade is she will tell you it's being able to go all day!
Josh is going to Bethany Nursery School for preshcool this year. He was pretty upset that on his first day, he had a fever and had to stay home. Luckily he felt better so he could attend his 1st "second day" of school. I thought he would have a hard time, but since they start out playing on the play ground everyday, he is in love!
He is such a funny kid. They made chocolate chip cookies one day and after eating one his teacher said he got kind of a wierd look on his face. She asked him how he liked his cookie and he responded, "It's not quite what I expected". What a silly boy!

Abbie's Birthday

I can't believe Abbie is six. For her birthday this year, she choose to take one friend and do lunch. Madi and Abbie have know each other since they were born, so of course she wanted her to come. She choose to eat at the grape place (aka: Olive Garden) and then hit the mall for some shopping. She obviously didn't get that one from me since I hate shopping. It was fun spending time with just her which doesn't seem to happen often.

She has wanted an american girl doll for a few years now, but we wanted to wait until she was a little older and make sure she REALLY wanted one and could take care of it. She choose one that looked just like her. It has long red hair, fair skin, and blue eyes.

She loved all her gifts from her brother, sister, and grandparents!
Since Abbie told me I could make a fairy winx club cake, Belle cake, or a flower cake; I went with the easier of the three and made her a flower cake. She couldn't decide whether she wanted cupcakes or a big cake, so we made both.Happy Birthday Abbie! We love you and are so proud of the young lady you are turning into!
