Birthday Girl

On January 16th, Abigail Jo turned 10.  How can it be possible that this sweet, wise, insightful, quirky, creative, sensitive, bright little light of a girl has only been part of my life on earth for 10 years and yet, how it is possible that my chubby cherub, happy, burrowing little baby girl is already 10 years old?  When I think of Abby I can’t help but smile.   Abby knows exactly what she wants, she’s always working on or towards something.  Her latest project is writing a story, she’s already written lots and lots of poems.  She’ll spend hours creating things for her American Girl dolls and loves taking care of them.  When she’s determined to do something there’s no stopping her.

Not surprisingly, she knew exactly what she wanted for her birthday.  Number one on that list was a SNUGGIE!  She used to make fun of that infomercial, but a few short years later she just had to have one.

She wanted an Easy Bake Oven – her own, but Anna has an old one and I just couldn’t buy another one, so I found an Easy Bake cookie and cake kit that she can cook right in the microwave.

She also knew exactly which cake she wanted.

And, as always she was so grateful for all her fun gifts.  She got to go to a play with my parents and Grandma Bell (Cinderella) and she got to go shopping with birthday money from Grandpa John and Grandma Jamie.  Not a bad birthday at all.  We love our sweet little Abby Jo!
