birthday party...3

This weekend we had my family over to celebrate Abigail's 3rd birthday. Yes, 3. I am in awe of how time has gone by and by how big Abigail is getting. She is so beautiful, inside and out.


Abigail was very excited to have a party. We grilled burgers and hot dogs.


The weather was just perfect so we played outside. Kate brought her dog, Sam, and Abigail had fun throwing him his ball. Rachel was captivated by Sam and made cute sounds and facial expressions watching him.


It was funny to watch Abigail open presents. She went fast ripping the paper off and putting the gift aside so she can open another one. We all laughed as she seemed in a daze.

Abigail was given a new baby doll who she quickly named her "Haven". I love that and I wonder how she got that name!


I think watching Abigail as we sang happy birthday was the best part for me. Her face was precious and full of joy. She loved every minute of it. Afterward she got her request of having cherries on her cake which she ate and licked all the frosting off, leaving the cake behind.



We also celebrated my sister who was born on the 28th as well, just 25 years earlier! Happy birthday Kate!




Does anyone remember this dress? Abigail wore it to her first birthday party. I just love seeing Rachel wearing it now. Brings back good memories. In just a couple months we will be having another birthday party.

When I asked Abigail what her favorite part of her party was she replied "the balloons".

Oh I can't stop smiling after reading that post! So fun! It just warms my heart so much that Abigail named her baby Haven! And as soon as I saw that dress on Rachel in the first picture, I literally said "oh!" out loud...brought back so many memories of our big girls in those dresses together...and made me realize I need to get that out of Addysen's old clothes for Haven to wear too! Can't get over that our little babies are turning 3! You are so right...Abigail is so beautiful inside and out! Miss her so much!! Glad you had such a fun party for her!
