I wanted to write on her actual birthday... March 15, but the day/weekend was so busy. Abby, I love you so very much. I am so blessed to have such a loving, silly, adventurous daughter like you. You are growing up too fast and I can't hold on to your baby days tight enough. My birthday wish for you is that your Daddy and I can give you a childhood that is full of love, that makes you feel special, and that nurtures you enough to feel safe at home and away from home. We are so lucky to be your parents and your sister adores you, too. And yes, I will be singing "Tick-Tock, my Pudding-Pop!" to you for the rest of my life... sorry!:)

Back to details, first I wish they let me add more pictures, but I was maxed out. We had so much fun for Abby's Birthday Party! We had so many friends, kids, and family over to celebrate. It is times like these that you realize how very lucky you are/I am. The stress of having a party I could do without... even the best laid plans never go as they should. However, it was all well worth it. Everyone had a blast! Abby got tons of gifts - THANK YOU EVERYONE, YOU WERE WAY TOO GENEROUS! She didn't quite get the opening of gifts, but Trevor helped her out while I tried to keep paper out of her mouth. My mom bought her a big cake to set on her tray. She had no problem diving in, squishing it in her hands, and making a mess. Anthony thought it was time for her to actually taste it, so he put a swish of frosting on his finger and then in her mouth: MISTAKE. Within seconds she was vomiting all over the place (I had just fed her vegetables and turkey). My mom, thank you, got her undressed and into the bath, Kim lit a candle(it really smelled bad), and I assured everyone that she was fine. My kids are pukers(not sure if thats a word, but thats what they are). If Ruby has a bite larger than a nickel - watch out! We ended the night with Anthony and Trevor jamming to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "ABCD's". It was so stinking darling. T.T. even chimed in with her own version. Thank you to everyone who helped and joined in on Bean's special day... I can't believe I have a one and two year old!!! P.S. Happy Birthday Trevor! We love you very much and can't believe you're 3!!!! We'll see you tonight to celebrate!
