Abby turned 12 years old on Tuesday, February 20th. She is such a sweet, kind-hearted girl and as much as I love watching her grow, there is a part of me that wants her to stay young forever!
I checked her out of school for lunch and we took all of her birthday gifts over to the Humane Society first.
They were so grateful for this kind gesture and she was excited to be able to do this on her birthday. What a great example of service!
Afterwards I treated her to lunch at her choice (Chipotle) and then we did a little shopping before taking her back to school. She told me later that this was her favorite part of her day!
She had rehearsal until 6 p.m. so we picked her up and headed straight over to her dinner of choice, "Noodles & Co." Afterwards we headed home for pajamas and opening up of family gifts and cards.
She received some nice cards from my sisters and her grandparents and had some fun craft and baking gifts from her family
We sang Happy Birthday and watched as she blew out all 12 of her candles on her cake with another little girl just dying to join in!!
She gets to go to her first youth activity tomorrow night and is so excited about this next chapter in her life. She is a beautiful girl both inside and out and we can't wait to see all that she will accomplish in this life. I just hope she doesn't grow up too fast!!
