We had Abby's birthday party Saturday afternoon. It was a monkey themed party since she loves her stuffed monkey so much. Once we picked the theme, we realized it really was perfect for her. She loves her monkeys, she already has a monkey shirt she loves to wear, she does the cutest version of "no more monkeys jump bed," and both she and her big brother are silly monkeys :) In line with the monkey-ness, we had a monkey- bean bag- banana toss, banana bread muffins, banana pudding, monkey cupcakes, and all sorts of monkey decor.
Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for coming early to help us finish up frosting cupcakes, hanging decorations, setting out drinks, cutting fruits, cooking baked beans, and all sorts of other last minute details. We grilled out burgers & dogs and had all sorts of other fun munchies. We are blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family members to celebrate with; there were seventeen kids running around! Abby had a great time with all her little buddies, especially Anna Wynn & JJ. Those two adored her and followed her around most of the party. Ryan loved having lots of his friends around too including cousin Maxim, yay! And yes, Abby did burn herself a bit on the candle. Despite having blown out candles before, she apparently was so focused on taking a bite she forgot about the flame. Oops! But after a two second cry, she moved on to eating the cupcake and all was better again.
Thanks to everyone who came to party with us and made Abby's birthday such a special event! We appreciate each one of you!
Happy Birthday Baby Girl!! We love you!
