This past weekend we celebrated Abby's birthday a little early with her cousins from the Ledezma and Altman families. We were excited to have everyone over to celebrate her birthday. We can't believe she's almost a year old, how time has flown!
The theme of Abby's birthday was "Disney Princess" courtesy of mommy's decision. Mommy is determined that Abs will love all things Disney as much as mommy does. Abby had her own princess Aurora cake to play with, smash up and eat all to herself...more on that in a moment. We also had a "group" cake for everyone else to share.
Here's Abs with two of her grandmas and her cousin Seth.
Abby had never had anything sweet before her birthday. So this was the first time she'd ever had cake or ice cream and truly she wasn't really a fan. We were all surprised that she didn't dig into the cake and ice cream, until we figured out that she wasn't a fan of the icing. Pretty soon, she was chowing down on the ice cream, but never got into the cake. This is the aftermath of the cake and ice cream episode.
Abs got so many sweet gifts from everyone. We just can't share our appreciation enough. Abby really enjoyed being the center of attention while she was opening her gifts and really hammed it up for the camera.
Mommy and daddy also got Abby a special gift, but completely forgot to give it to her until after all the other presents had been opened and she was about to go swimming. It is a charm bracelet that we will add charms to each year as she grows up. Mommy had one when she was growing up and it is still one of her most prized possessions.
Almost 6 and a half months after Pappa A asked for it, we finally got a picture of he and all the grandchildren together. Actually, this was the first weekend all these kiddos have been all together!
It was really a great time with everyone and we can't share our appreciation with everyone enough. Celebrating this first birthday for Abby will always be a special memory to us!
Much love,
Moises & Jennifer
