Abby is 5!

We had so much fun today celebrating Abby's 5th birthday.  It started first thing in the morning with gifts from Mom and Dad and homemade waffles for breakfast. Then we had her birthday party at the local duck pin bowling place. It was so much fun to see all the kids (16 of them total!) rolling the balls and knocking down the pins together. After that, it was some time at the park enjoying the gorgeous upper 70s weather and some family time with Uncle Tim and Poppy for a late lunch. After some much needed naps for everyone (including the adults) we capped off the night by attending a local carnival where the girls enjoyed the rides and Abby got to purchase the jumbo bag of cotton candy.

It's so exciting to see our little Abby growing up to be more and more like a little woman every day. We are so proud of her and love her so much!

Here's a few photos from throughout the day...

Cousin Mikey had a great time bowling!

This may not be my party, but I'll cry if I want to!

It won't be long until she's driving one of these for real!
