Abbie's Birthday Celebrations

Abbie had a really great birthday. She got a new outfit to wear to school and looked so super cute in it...

She got a lot of fun presents...
a new doll bed from G & G F., a Fancy Nancy doll from G & G O., some clothes, an umbrella, purse & sunglasses, a new bag for her ice skates, and the Princess & the Frog soundtrack.

I picked her up from school to have a little lunch date. Grandma O. came with us and we had a great lunch together.

Once again, a birthday cake that didn't turn out exactly as planned, but ok. I just cannot make the birthday cake that I see in my mind. This cake comes from the book, PURPLICIOUS. Such a cute book and that's the cake Abbie wanted. So it kind of turned out like the one in the book, but not exactly. Fortunately Abbie was in a good mood and didn't mind that it didn't turn out exactly right. (BIG sigh of relief on my part). It could have been ugly.
We went swimming today at the Rec Center and now she's downstairs having a movie/sleepover party with her cousin, Chloe. A great birthday week for the both of us. (Just a funny side note- I actually opened my birthday presents from the kids on Abbie's birthday because everyone seemed to forget that they had gotten Mommy a bday present. Oh well, two days late is better than nothing I guess.)

  1. Happy Birthday Abbie. Just to let you know I did tell you that I would forget to call. However at about 10:00 March 2 I remembered. I debated on whether or not to call, but I figured if Mark is anything like Landon that would not have made him happy. I do hope you both had a great birthday. The cake is cute by the way. I just made cupcakes with sprinkles for Katie's class and when I brought them to her class, her teacher said see Katie I told you she wouldn't forget. I guess my little Katie bug has a lot of faith in me as her mother since she thought I would forget her treats. I am not that bad. I do love you though especially because you are older than me. That always makes me feel good!!!!

  5. Great cake! It's going to look better than the PLAID cake that Karli wants me to bake. She wants it to look like her plaid shorts!
