It's hard to believe we celebrated Abby's First birthday already...and now she's a big one-year old! I'm not sure how that even happened! It's a bittersweet milestone...that stage where you stop counting the baby age in months...and simply say, "She's one."
Elizabeth was excited about the balloons and decorations...
Abby was so happy waking up to her birthday gifts...and the kids couldn't wait to start the party...
After giving Abby one of her gifts, we headed to school to enjoy donuts for breakfast with Alex and Emily! A great start to celebrating birthday fun!

Time for cupcakes and presents!

| Such a happy one-year old! |

It was a nice little celebration at home and Abby loved her cupcake {lemon with pink vanilla icing} and her gifts {legos, a baby doll, sorting blocks, stuffed bunny and her favorite...musical ride-on toy!}
We also had a birthday celebration with the cousins. We were so happy to finally have the whole family all together again! Between the weather and busy schedules, it had been since Thanksgiving since the kids had seen their Grams, Aunt Nicole, Hunter and Paige!

We enjoyed lunch and ice cream at Zaharakos Ice-Cream Parlor and had fun playing at the Commons playground afterward!
The kids loved putting quarters in the old-fashioned coin piano and listening to the music!

It was such a nice day with family! I love birthdays, and celebrating is so much fun! Abby may never remember her first birthday, but it was a fun day of memory making for all of us!
Especially since it was also Mother's Day!
I couldn't express enough how much I love being a mom, and how blessed and thankful that Alex, Emily, Elizabeth and Abigail call me their mom, momma, mommy, momma bear!
Happy Birthday Abby!
{and thanks for making this momma-of-four's heart
full!}
