Abbie's Family Birthday

Abbie's 7th birthday was at El Comedor, Abbie's 2nd favorite restaurant (after McDonalds).  Abbie had her usual taco with no lettuce and shared some nachos with Rylee and I.























After dinner we headed back to our house for cake, ice cream, and presents.


















Abbie loves skirts! 



Grandma Nita gave Abbie a Dora Swims-A-Lot and she loves it!

Abbie had me bake her a chocolate cake again this year, but Grandma Nate still has to make the frosting!

Happy Birthday to You, Abbie!

Abbie,

This year has been similar to years past as you continue to be a patient, caring, considerate young girl.  You continue to share with Rylee on a regular basis.  Don't get me wrong...the two of you fight, but you are always the one that gives in or shares.  You are always thinking of Rylee.  For example, I accidentally gave you Rylee's glass full of smoothie and you took a drink.  I noticed I had given you the wrong glass and immediately you poured some of your smoothie back into Rylee's cup.  Another example, if someone gives you a treat or a toy you always ask for one for Rylee.

I could give a million examples, but the bottom line is that I am always so impressed when you think of Rylee first all of the time.    Thank you Abbie for being so considerate!

This year you continued in the same types of activities such as dance, swimming, and softball.  You continue to like them all, but mentioned you might switch from dance to gymnastics for next year. We love to watch you in all your activities and you always work so hard to please both daddy and I and your coach.  You are such a perfectionist and you always want to get everything just right, whether it is school or sports or art projects.  Speaking of art projects and school, you continue to love both and excel in both.  I LOVE that you not only love school but you really excel in school.  You are an exceptional student who works so hard to please your teacher.  Thank you for your hard work!

I love you Abbie and thank you for another wonderful year!

Love,
Mom
