Okay, so we're a couple (4) days early, but we certainly celebrated in style. We wish we had the opportunity to invite all of Abby's little friends (aka my friends with kids her age), but 1) our house is not big enough and 2) she's still too young for a friend AND family party. We stuck with just family and "family" this year and still had over 30 guests. This by far has been the most fun birthday for Abby! She totally got everything about it - the presents, the anticipation, the celebration, the presents, the cake, the fun, the presents, the thank you's, and of course the presents!
We set up a canopy in her room and had a dozen or so (mostly small trinkets or cutesy stuff) presents wrapped in comic paper waiting for her this the morning. She managed to wrangle herself into our bed around 5:30 and since I was NOT getting up that early she stayed to snuggle. After decorating for her party Saturday night, I was surprised she was not rip-roaring ready to go!
Papa, Gwen, and Auntie Erin joined us earlier in the weekend to maximize time spent with Abby and all were incredibly (Tim included) helpful in tidying up and adding the finishing touches to the party of the season! The birthday girl had a BLAST playing with everyone, skipping nap, opening presents, meeting Curious George, eating cake, and passing out at 6:45. Let's hope she stays asleep all night!!
