Abigail is 8!

Abigail is my sweet, kind, loving, hyper, thankful, loud, compassionate, church loving, creative child.

She is such a blessing in our family.  She wants to be old enough to babysit Ike all by herself.  So sometimes I will ask her to watch him for 20 min. while I do housework or fix dinner.  She loves it and is so good at it.  Her room is always messy with projects and cardboard boxes that she is cutting into something.

A few nights before Abigail's birthday, we had a grandparent party.  They came over for cake and ice cream.  Ab wanted a snowman cake, but as I was getting ready to put it together she changed her mind.  We decided on a snowflake cake instead.

 She was such a happy girl, she loved her presents.  

Especially the earrings since she recently pierced her ears.

 My sweet 8 year old.

On her real birthday, we opened gifts as a family and went to her favorite restaurant, IHOP.

 Oh, I wish this wasn't blurry... but you can see how happy and excited she was.

 After she opened her doll, she jumped up to hug me and Ben.  She is such a grateful child.

 She had looked at American Girl dolls, and really liked Kit.  She has freckles and short hair like Ab.

 Dinner at IHOP

 Since it was her 8th birthday, it called for a friend party.  I gave her some options for the party.  She decided to pick a friend to take for manicures, pedicures, and ice cream.

 I had so much fun watching Abigail and Kate.  They kept whispering and giggling with each other.  They are such cute friends.

Ab really loved her snowflake on her toe.
