Poor Miss Abigail had a really rough birthday. It started off pretty good! She celebrated at school before the break. It was a super busy day in her classroom, so I feel bad we squeezed it in..but I think she was happy! We made rice krispie treats with sprinkles for her all her friends...and a gift bag for the kids to take home. Rob was hoping to surprise her at school and show up, but he got stuck at work. I was able to sneak out of my classroom and go down for the celebration. In her class, they do a parade around the classroom to a birthday song! Here was Abigail leading the parade!
The next day of school was a short day where the kids played Bingo all day (do you remember that as a kid? Playing Bingo over the intercom and going to the office to pick a prize if you win...it's the BEST!!!!!). After school, the fun began! We met Aunt Julie and she took Abigail and Caitlin to her house to have a birthday party with Lucy and Leigh. Abigail has a GREAT time! They made a cake, they opened presents, they played with their cousins...what else could you ask for????
The next morning, Rob, Libby, and I headed down and we headed to the Aquarium with Jules, Joe, and the girls. Going to the aquarium was all Abigail wanted for her birthday! She talked and talked and talked about it! The first hour was GREAT there, it wasn't crowded and the kids were having so much fun. We stopped for a snack before the dolphin show, and Abigial didn't want to eat anything, which is odd. The next thing you know, she's crying because she doesn't feel good. We pretty much rushed home because she was burning up. The poor thing cried or slept the whole ride home. By the time we got home, she had 104 fever..and it stayed that way for the next 2 days. So she never go to really enjoy the aquarium. Don't worry...we will be going back to make up for the short day.
The next day was her actual birthday, but the poor thing was still really sick. The grandparents came over for cake and presents, but you could tell she wasn't feeling good and was trying to put on a brave face for us. After presents, we had cupcakes (Frozen, she was so excited) and she started crying that she didn't want a cupcake and just wanted to go to bed. That's when you know a kid is really sick.
Long story short...well, actually Long story LONG....she was sick the following day, but was healthy by Christmas Eve, which she was really happy about!
She got some great gifts..including her Rainbow Loom which she wanted to make bracelets, and her Lego house which to this day she claims was the best present she ever got!
She loved her Lego House
Frozen cupcakes for a sweet girl!
Happy Birthday, Abigail!!!!
Dear Abigail,
How is our little girl already 6??? That's the real deal...that's the "2 hand" birthday!!!! This year has been a GREAT year for you. You have become very independent...sometimes a little too independent, but sorry to burst your bubble, I'm still gonna stop in your classroom to say hi or sit by you in the cafeteria to eat lunch with you no matter how many times you roll your eyes! :) My birthday wish for you is that you will always be the kind, sensitive soul you are. You will always worry about other people the way you do now. You will always have that sparkle in your eye and that love in your heart. That you will always enjoy life as much as you have this last year. I am so proud of the little girl you have become. You make us so proud. You have a love for music...and a HATE for all things "sports"...we are gonna have to work on that a little. You have real friends that you made all by yourself and have found your little place in the world at your school! You are the sweetest big sister and very patient with your little sisters. You are brave and adventurous...but also reserve and smart! We love you so so much!!! Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Birthday, Abigail Grace!
Love, Mommy and Daddy
