Abby's 2nd Birthday!

Saturday, July 19th

Our little Abigail Micaela turned 2 this past weekend.  I can't believe she's such a big girl. One of the things she specifically asked us for her birthday was a bicycle.  Ed and I had so much fun picking out this pink radio flyer toddler bike, we also got a matching Minnie Mouse helmet.  Abby LOVED her bike and is currently getting on and trying to ride all over the house.

We had a beautiful birthday celebration for Abby with both of our families at my parents Papa and Gigi's house.  The festivities including swimming in the new pool, breaking the piñata (which Papa had fun setting up) and eating lots of yummy mexican food.  Thank you to Papa and Gigi for hosting!   Thanks to Papa for making the beans, Eva for the rice, Auntie Melissa for the 7-layer dip that was devoured in about 20 min and Caroline for the cookies.  Here's a pic of Abby and her cousins Gregory and Stephen (I bribed them with cake for a picture)

Piñata was a little scary for Abby, she did not care for beating her friend Elmo with a stick.  

(We forget sometimes that piñata was originally meant to be a star shape and not your fav pal)

I know we have some more pictures Melissa took where we are actually looking at the camera, here's a family shot. 

Abby and Aunt Angela and Uncle Matt---we were so excited these 2 came to the birthday party.  They literally just got back from Europe, including Paris where they got engaged.  They have asked Abby and her sisters to be flower girls in their wedding, can't wait for next fall!!

My Abby had a wonderful birthday.  Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate !
