abbie's birthday (part 1)

Abbie's "real" 6th birthday was on Saturday, but we started celebrating on Friday with a cake and ice cream with a neighbor.

Check out Sophie on the side there with the ice cream scooper.

Sophie loved the cruly ribbons on the presents Grammy gave Abbie.

A very fun game for anyone looking for a present for Abbie's age- also Molly has fun with it too.

And here we are again with more ribbons- who needs toys???

more snacks

Sophie taught herself to use a straw like her big sisters so she could drink out of a juice box.

What a big girl!

And here she is eating a piece of bread.

take time to smell the roses

Molly just loved her rose.

wagon ride

The girls love going for wagon rides.

love those puffs

Sophie just loves these baby corn puffs- especially when she can shake them all out on her own.

abbie's dance

Abbie went to her second father-daughter dance. Last year was her first.
Titi paints her nails.

Sophie's not sure what all the fuss is about- just give her a few more years.

Abbie has her hair done in "Grammy's Salon".

Where does she get that gorgeous hair??? not me that's for sure!

Molly wants a turn in "Grammy's Salon" too.

She was just so patient having her hair done.

Abbie was just so excited to get going.

Can we please go yet???

I'm just imagining what it's going to be like when she comes down these stairs for her first dance with a boy- yikes!

As you can see Sophie and I aren't dressed for the occasion...

The girls with Titi and Lou Lou.

Abbie's corsage

Daddy brought Molly a flower as well...which she used as a fishing pole while Abbie was having pictures taken.

I just love this shot.

Daddy and the girls

getting a little rambunctious...

All dressed and ready to go.

And here's Molly with her flower that we made into a corsage since it broke after all of her fishing...but now it's "just like Abbie's" as she said.

She's ready for her own dance with Daddy.
