Abby is 6 years old!

August 5....We've been waiting for you for a long time. You brought the ability for Abby to turn 6 years old. She's been counting down the days until your arrival. Thank you for arriving on time and allowing us to have an absolutely perfect day!
The day started with pancakes for breakfast of course! Abby pours syrup all over them and goggles them up. Pancakes are her favorite breakfast choice. Then we went down to Kalamazoo to meet my sister and her family at Chuck E. Cheese. We met at noon and had a great time!!! I don't think her smile left her face all day. Here she is waving to the camera. Hello! I'm 6 years old today!!!


Sitting with Nana and trying to wait patiently for my cousins to arrive. I can't wait for the fun to begin!


Pizza, pop, Polly cake, presents and lots and lots of games. These girls played everything there and collected all kinds of tickets for the ticket booth. Beth and I even got into the action and played a few too. My inner child came out and it was fun to play again.


Abby and Sophie spent most of their time riding the rides together and chasing each other through the tunnels. They even broke a sweat with all their play.


Lauren and Papa checked out all the games but Lauren quickly discovered that "The Price is Right" was the best game and it gave her over 100 tickets!


I love this picture of the two of us. My life is so much richer with Abby. She is truly a blessing from my heavenly Father. I am so blessed!


She requested a Polly Pocket cake for her birthday, but wanted Tangled plates and napkins. Funny girl!


My amazing dad, mom and sister!


She got so many gifts and with each one we opened we were treated with the same giggly surprise face. She loved it all.


One of the thing she got was a Hannah Montana guitar that came with a headset and a microphone. We've been listening to her sing us songs ever since.


As I tucked her into bed she grabbed me close and whispered into my ear, "Thank you mom. Thank you for the best birthday ever! I love you so much!" You're welcome baby. I love you too!
