Happy Birthday Abbey!

Abbey had a great first birthday! I made her a white vanilla cake with orange cream cheese frosting that was delicious...not that she'd know about it! Although she enjoyed the frosting after I made it earlier in the day (see video!!!) she didn't really care that it was now on top of something and placed very easily in front of her. As you can see below, Peter tried to even feed her the cake, but she wanted to be as far away from it as possible!

The picture below is her final fuss before we gave up and gave her cheetos instead!
Abbey's big thing is pointing now, so here are a couple of pictures of her pointing, clearly distracted by the gifts on the dining room table.

Finally, after enjoying a dinner of mac and cheese, mandarin oranges, and cheetos for dessert, it was time to open gifts. One of her favorites was the Dutch Bunny puppet (that we clearly named "Dutch") that she got from Aunt Margaret and Uncle Luke...she wouldn't stop hugging and kissing it!
All in all, a great first birthday. Make sure you go to our youtube channel and see new videos of her dancing, opening gifts, and eating her cheetos! :) One last shot of our big one year old, posing for the camera in our sunroom:

I can't believe she is one now. How time flies. Nordies has informed me that Abbey's gift will ship on August 13 (it must be very popular). Miss you guys!
