Happy Birthday Abby

Abby turned 7 this past week.

We celebrated that day with dinner and shakes at JCW's...

a family favorite place to eat.

Then, a couple days later she had a party.

It was two years in the waiting, so we wanted to make sure it was memorable.

Abby picked music for her theme. She also helped decide just how her invitations were to look.

Mom made a guitar cake. Green. As requested.

And all Abby's friends came to help celebrate.

We ate pizza, carrots, oranges and jello jigglers and everyone's favorite part, soda to drink.

Those poor kids. I think they drank more than they ate...

We played lots of fun music games, this one was a balloon toss game that when the music stopped, the person with the balloon had to throw it in the air and call out a number. Each kid had a number on their shirts and they were to catch the balloon before it hit the ground. The best part though, was watching them all dance while the music was playing.

Another fun game we played was pass the bag, like hot potato. If you had the bag when the music stopped, you had to reach in and pull out the first thing you touched. You were then to wear whatever it was and at the end, prizes were awarded for the funniest combinations.

Of course, time for presents is always a hit, especially for this birthday girl! She loved everything. August won't give up the Zuzu pet she got. He absolutely loves that thing!

It was such a fun day and a great time together.

We love you little Abby!
