Abby's Two!

Our little girl turned 2 last Saturday, Jan. 31st. Where have the last two years gone? Amazing how fast it goes... Anyway, here are some pictures from her party. We just invited over family that was in town, and still had a household of about 20 people! It was cozy but fun and I think everyone had a good time. Andy and Uncle Mike even braved the cold weather to do some BBQ'ing. Nothing like a BBQ in January, right? Anyway, hope you enjoy the pics. This first one is of her birthday cupcakes. Cute, huh? Ok I have to fess up....I made the cupcakes and frosting, and my sister actually did the decorating. She has some talent there I'd say! :)

Grandma was the firt to arrive and entertained the kids with some books while we waited for other guests. I think that woman needs to volunteer at the public library to read to kids....she has a gift for just getting them completely enthralled with the books! It's really fun to watch.
Mmmm, she likes chips. It was great until she spilled salsa all down the front of her pretty party dress. Oh well...
Cousins Austin, Alex and Andy.

Chow-time.
The "kids" table. I get a kick out of the fact that Abby is the only girl granchild in town (on Andy's side at least) so she is always surrounded by older boys. I don't think she minds though....they take very good care of their little cousin. :)
My dad and his girlfriend, Rita.
Auntie Colleen and Abby.
Presents!!



Her first Oregon Duck sweatshirt. (above her head) Probably the first of many if her daddy has any say in the matter.
A new doll that she absolutely loves. She feeds her, gives her lots of hugs and kisses, and puts her to bed everyday. So stinkin' cute!
A CUTE new outfit from Aunt Karen that she sent down. I love it!
Now we're into the dress-up, princess garb. She got her own little purse, complete with shades, cell-phone, lipstick, car keys, etc. It's been so cute to see her role playing with it all.
And a feather boa of course!
Ok, and a crown. Can you tell I like girly things?
Fancy lady!
Finally a little smile as she sees her cupcake tower. (She had been a bit sick so was kind-of subdued for most of the party)

Digging in!
I think the cupcake eating was her favorite part.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBY!! We really couldn't love you more!

What a beautiful princess and fancy lady indeed! You know you have sent her right into teen-hood with all those accessories! Good luck with that! :)

She's sooo pretty amy, you really did a fantastic job! I guess Andy had a something to do with that too.

Happy Birthday Abby girl!!!
