Abby is 5

Abby has had a pretty eventful couple of weeks. Last Monday she turned 5. I can't even believe that I have been a Mom for five years already. She had two birthday days really. We had the family over on Sunday and her kid party on Monday. She was so excited to get a scooter and has been riding it non-stop.
Here are five things about this girl:

1. She is determined at everything she tries. Even in Primary on Sunday when she got asked to help with the sign language for our Mother's Day Song she was concentrating so hard. She is always trying her best!!
2. She loves crafts. Anything she can do to create things she will do it. It is so neat to watch her always making little notes, cards, and other fun things. I have quite the collection already.
3. She is independant and outgoing. She has never been one to need Mom or Dad to hang around. I still remember her going to nursery and she just waved and went on in.
4. She is a sporty girl and is always wanting to learn new games. She just started playing soccer and is doing amazing on her team. She was so excited that she has a real uniform!!
5. She is a super sensitive and caring girl. She notices when Mom is having a bad day and always tries to help.
We are so grateful to have this beautiful girl in our family. She is such an awesome daughter. I can't even believe she will be going to kindergarten in September and in true Abby fashion she can't wait to start. Mom on the other hand is more nervous than she is I think.

We had a garden themed birthday party and painted flower pots, did a scavenger hunt, and planted a flower. It was super fun except all the people in attendance were boys. We gotta find her some girl friends. The boys weren't that excited to paint flower pots I tell ya!!
Happy Birthday Abby!!!!!
