Abigail is 9!

This girl has always seemed older than what she really is.  She is so responsible, kind, loving, stubborn, and helpful.  She loves to help out with Isaac, making lunches, packing the church bag, and so much more.  I don't know how I would do life without her willingness to help.   

She loves to craft... that's what she calls it, but I say she loves making messes :)  She'll cut, glue, and tape anything she can find. She's a hands-on learner...  She's always coming home and re-creating whatever project they did at school.  She loves to be outside riding bikes or playing with friends.

Abigail chose crepes for her birthday breakfast

Ab had her last basketball game of the season on her birthday.  Hailey liked to sit on the bench with the girls.  Ben was her coach this year and Abigail loved it.

Ab has the best teacher this year, she came to watch her and Kate play. 

Abigail and Kate... they are such cute friends!

We had a pre-party of games and junk food before grandparents came over for the real party.

My sister made a panda cake for her.  Ab loves pandas and Jess does such a great job with cakes. 

She loves to get dolled up for her birthdays.  She had three hairstyles in one day.   She's not normally particular, I guess just on her birthday.  For the ball game she wanted a fancy ponytail.  Later she wanted a bun... but then decided it was missing something.  So we took the bun out, re-did it with a braid around it.

And the party begins!

 She was so happy and grateful for her gifts and her guests,  she asked for pictures with Mom and Dad, and she was just beaming all day long.  She's such an important part of this family.
