I am officially the mother of a 5 year old. Crazy! I can’t believe how beautiful my little girl is growing up to be!!!

Abbie with her presents. The cute sign was made by daddy at like 1:00 am. He wanted to make a special painting for Abbie on her b-day. He also has spelling issues at 1:00 in the morning-LOL!

We got Abbie a 3/4 size acoustic guitar (Hannah Montana, of course) for her birthday-the ONLY thing she really asked for (with the exception of a book for her little sister-so sweet-we obliged on that one and got Brookie a book).

She also asked for Daddy’s delicious pizza for her birthday. (Made totally from scratch with freshly ground wheat-I know, I’m a lucky girl!)

I love Brookie’s face in this one! I ended up ordering this cake, but I plan to make one for her party next week-wish me luck!!!

And for nostalgic purposes, a few oldies but goodies of my sweet little girl who is growing up too quickly!



And perhaps one of my favorite images EVER (with our cat, Shaggy):

Happy birthday my sweet sweet sweet sweet little Abigail!
Oh, and on a side note, today Brookie decided to do some art of her own…on her arms and face. Thank goodness for WASHABLE markers!

High 5!
