I can hardly believe how old my kids are getting. Abbie turned 11 this year.
Abbie with Savannah and her cousin Daphne. Lydia made birthday hats and Abbie is wearing the Birthday Girl one made especially for her.
Nanny (Jude's mom), usually buys these cakes from Backer's Bakery in Salt Lake. They are yummy, beautiful and really expensive!
Abbie wanted Julie, an American Girl doll for her birthday. Nanny and Papa were happy to oblige. I was kind of glad she wanted a doll, that means my baby isn't all grown up just yet. She also received some accessories for her doll from her cousins and from everyone else she received more money than any 11 year old needs.
On Abbie's actual birthday, we went as a family to Piccalo Brother's Pizza. Usually the kids get to choose anywhere they want to eat on their birthday, but Abbie was a real trooper and agreed on Piccalo Brother's, because we had a gift card for there. We used sparkly silver iron on letters to make her a Birthday Girl outfit that she even wore to school; unfortunately, you can't see it very well in any of the pictures we took. After we ate dinner, which was really yummy, (I have to recommend their pizza) we went to the movie "Kung Fu Panda II." It was actually a pretty good movie.
I sure do love this girl, and don't tell Austin, but she is a much better babysitter than he is. Now that she is 11 I feel a little more comfortable leaving her in charge for small amounts of time.
