For her gift, we got her a mini trampoline. She has been loving to jump, walk around in circles, play Ring around the Rosies, and sit to watch movies.
Daddy took her birthday off from work, so we were able to go to the Thanksgiving Point Farm to celebrate. Abigail loved all the animals, the wagon ride, and especially riding the pony (she rode twice). During the pony ride, she would say, "Hi horsey," neigh, and pet the pony.
The next day we had her party. Mommy was a little frazzled trying to greet people, help Abigail open presents, and do cake. And Daddy was exhausted from being in Abigail's room since 3 AM helping her sleep and getting everything set up for the party. But all in all, the party turned out well. It was a Zoo themed party that we held at the neighborhood park. For decorations we had some of Abigail's stuffed animals in cages with corresponding snacks. There was Elephant Snacks (peanuts), Tortoise Food (Swedish Fish), Hare Treats (Cadbury Mini Eggs), and Monkey Chow (dehydrated bananas). We had a young man from our ward doing balloon animals. I made a zebra cake and giraffe cupcakes (very amateur looking, but still was fun). So many family and friends were able to come and it was so great to see them. We are so grateful for all the fun gifts and time spent with us.
Since her birthday, we have had some fun water play dates. Abigail is becoming more brave when it comes to getting in the water and splashing around.
We also had a fun 4th of July celebration at Great-Grams (Alison's Grandma Furse). We went to the local fair, where Abigail met one of her favorite Disney Princesses: Ana of Arendale. We played at Grams and Abigail even got to stay up and watch fireworks. While watching she would go over to Grams and ask to sit with her, which was so sweet to see. She also clapped and said "yay!" When the fireworks were finished she said, "Again!" All in all it has been a busy, but fun month.
Abigail is such a cutie! I'm glad she had a good birthday week.
