Abbey turns 9

Abbey will be 9 in a couple of days. She decided to have an American Girl Doll party this year and have her cousin Sarah stay the night for a slumber party so they could play dolls all night long. And did they ever! They were up until midnight doing their hair and dressing and undressing them for bed. Abbey had such a great time. So fun! Happy Birthday, Abbey! We love you!

Abbey wanted to have an American Girl doll birthday party and have a tea party with a "green"theme. We served fruit and berry dip; cucumber sandwiches; slushies and flowering tea for the tea party. This was all after Abbey's favorite dinner -- Chicken Velvet Soup!
Getting ready to open her gifts from everyone!

Lil' Girls Cheer Camp

Gracie and Lily decided to do the little girls cheer camp this year. They practiced every day after school with the High School cheerleaders in order to perform 3 cheers, and a dance for the halftime show of the basketball game this evening. They worked really hard in order to learn the cheers and dances. This was the first year Lily was old enough to participate so she was really excited. Abbey still isn't interested in cheering/dancing. She decided that she would rather be involved with the school's yearbook committee after school on Monday. But, she and I had a lot of fun hanging out together the rest of the week while Gracie and Lily were at camp. We played lots of games and planned her upcoming birthday party. So, I really enjoyed spending time with just her after school every night. Gracie and Lily were so cute and did a great job at the game tonight. Kent videoed the performance but again, I'm not able to upload the videos so, hopefully, Kent can do it for me sometime soon.
