A week at the Lake.

We spent Abigail's birthday week at the lake.  Andy had a scheduled vacation week this week and I was between jobs so it worked out great.  The weather was nice almost all week and we had some visitors that made it extra special.  On Wednesday Andy's parents came up with our niece Bailey to see Abigail for her birthday.  Friday we took Abigail up to see her great grandmother and uncle Paul then we had more friends come to spend the weekend with us.  We did a lot of relaxing and a lot of playing...it was a great week!

Abigail loves her new puzzles from her cousins.

She also got a car and a Cinderella carriage from
great grandma and uncle Paul.

Grandma and PopPop gave Abigail a princess castle.
She loved it and played with it all week
but I did not get a picture of it out of the box.

Andy Wake boarding.

He had some really high jumps.

Abigail's 1st Birthday - CAKE!!

Cake time was one of my favorite things of Abigail's birthday.  I think mainly because she just looked so cute with her hat on and her pretty red chevron bib I got from Etsy.  I bought her 2 cakes from Edgar's, one for our photo shoot on Friday and one for the party Saturday.  Both times Abigail cried when she got the icing on her.  We thought she just did not like cake but when she did it the second time we gave her one of Grammy's homemade cupcakes and she ate it down with out a problem.  I guess she is just not a fan of Edgars.....she gets it honest because Andy and did not like it either.  They were pretty and will hopefully look great in the pictures.  

Ready for cake!

You can really see our chevron theme in this picture!

Singing Happy Birthday.

We did get one picture with the Edgar's cake before
the tears came.

Finally Daddy gave her a yummy cupcake.

I love this picture....it looks like she is showing her
Grammy how yummy her cupcakes are.

Abigail put the bottom of the cupcake in her mouth
and sucked on it until it was gone....strange way to eat
it but it worked.

Messy Face!

Abigail's 1st Birthday - Opening Presents

 Abigail had so much help opening presents!  I probably could have just sat back and let the kids handle it, haha.  I think they had more fun opening the presents than Abigail and she loved watching the kids.  She got so many great toys.  I don't have a picture of all of them but I do have a few.

Trying on her new pretty hat from Meme & Papa.

Caroline helping bring the presents over.

She got a great wooden puzzle and a beautiful teddy
bear from Peyton and Jack.

Reese and Rylan gave Abigail a cool cell phone
and a new beach towel.  

Grandma (Andy's mom) made this cute bib for Abigail.
It says "Our little cupcake is one".  They will be coming
 up to see Abigail this week on her actual birthday.

Grammy and Paw Paw gave Abigail this beautiful chair.
Abigail already loves it!

The Bray's gave Abigail this cute lady bug.

The kids showed Abigail how to put the
balls in the top in just a few minutes.

Aunties Reagan and Monica gave us this new push toy.
Abigail will be up and walking in no time!

All her friends helping her with her new purse that
her cousins Caroline and Cooper gave her.  They know
how much she loves to unpack bags!  

Our wonderful friends Danny and Christine gave Abigail a
"Scout" dog that sings songs and talks using her name.  

Abigail's 1st Birthday - Play Time

Party time meant play time and wow did the kids play!  I bought this baby pool a couple weeks ago for the lake then thought it would be fun to use it as a ball pit for the party.  That was the best idea!  All the kids loved it.  Plus Abigail got to play in it for a few days before to the party. 

This is one of my favorite pictures....Abigail still has her bow in
(which my mom made) and her cousin Caroline is smiling so cute.  

Abigail and her friend David.

Sweet Reese took a break from the ball pit
to read a book.

This picture pretty much sums up the day! 

Abigail was so happy and such a cutie pie all day.

Andy even got in the ball pit.

Abigail climbing on Peyton who was so
sweet to play with her.

Abigail's friend Lucas came by.
He is walking now so Abigail was using him for support.  

I had to get a picture of all the kids in the pool....I should have
thought to do this before the other kids left
but I'm not sure if they all would have fit.

They had so much fun!

cousin Caroline after the party.
