It doesn't seem like that long ago that we were celebrating Abby's 8th birthday with grandparents and aunts and uncles who came to celebrate her milestone of being baptized. This past year flew by and February 20th arrived again with this little girl of ours now turning NINE!!
Her birthday was on a Friday. I decorated her bedroom with streamers and balloons and she loved waking up to all the hoopla that she usually arranges for everyone else in the family. I took the two younger kids to school that afternoon and ate lunch with her and her two friends up on the stage (always a special treat!) After school she eagerly waited on Daddy to come home from work so she could find her presents via a scavenger hunt all over the house and open them up. Her dinner of choice was "Golden Corral" and we all stuffed ourselves silly before coming home and watching a Swan Princess movie on Netflix that she has been dying to watch but Landon has always poo-pooed (birthday child always gets dibs on their movie of choice during family movie night on Fridays!)
The next morning we were supposed to have her birthday party at a local roller skating rink but 6-inches of snow derailed our plans. We called everyone to tell them we would be postponing her party until the following week. We still had this cake that wouldn't last until then so we invited her neighborhood friends over for some lunch, cake and several hours of playing that afternoon.
She was a little bummed about her birthday party being postponed for a week, but now she just gets to have a long, extended birthday!
We sure do love our creative, spiritual, smart, beautiful and fun little nine-year-old.
Now just stop growing up so fast, will ya!!
