I Don't Do Cake...But.....

Abby saw this cake in Family Fun magazine last month. She HAD to have it for her birthday. I don't typically make things like this, I'm not too creative and I'm easily frustrated, plus I don't think I've attempted something like this since my mom died. Costco cakes have been my friend! But she got sooooo excited over it, and it didn't look TOO difficult. So I said I would try. Here is the masterpiece. LOL I even woke her up a few minutes ago so she could see it. She squeezed me with biggest hug. So worth it! Now to keep it nice until her party on Saturday!

Be Blessed!

Happy 11th Birthday Abigail!

Some pictures in honor of Abby's 11th birthday. In the above pictures, the first she is at the zoo in 2006, and then in her Uncle Michael's canoe on the Snake River during summer of 2006.

Abby at the Kangaroo Farm and then trying to touch a snake at the Reptile zoo. Both taken in 2006.

Spring 2003, I think. This is one of my favorite expressions of hers. The baby I think is my friend Jolene's daugther.

Abby on the first day of first grade, August 2004. Then cleaning out her pumpkin in October 2005.

I believe both of these are from 2004. The top is Abby and daddy riding a camel at the pumpkin patch in Chicago. The bottom is Abby and Mom riding the giant ferris wheel at Navy Pier in Chicago.

These are 2003. The top is right before we left Wa. for Chicago, the bottom is Abby at tap lessons.

I think these are both 2003 as well. In the top she's at the petting farm at Forest Park. The bottom is Abby and Jacob at Woodland Park zoo.

The classic fell asleep in her high chair picture. I think this is around 2001. Then her first Christmas picture in 1998 with Jacob.

Easter 1999 and visit with Papa summer 1999, I think.

On the top left is her hospital pic, just hours old. Then her first portrait, 2 weeks old I think. The bottom one is her one year portrait.(and one of my favorite pictures of her before she got all her curls!)

Christmas 2001, I think. I love her curls in this picture. (yes they are natural!). Then mom and Abby on her first day of Kindergarten.

Abby's 8th birthday, and then camping with her cousins in the summer of 2006.

Soccer and Softball awards ceremonies in 2006.

Remember to click on the pictures to bring them up in a new window to see better.

Happy Birthday Abby! I can hardly believe you are 11! I thank God everyday for the blessing of my daughter. I love you and love to see how you are growing up into a beautiful, young lady.

Be Blessed!
