A couple of nights ago, we had a birthday party for our younger daughter Abby, who had turned three earlier in the week. One of the nice things when they are this age is that you can wait a few days to tell them that they've had a birthday. When they are older, there's more pressure.
We had some of our best friends over to celebrate Abby's big day (two other families - ten kids total). It was a really nice evening, complete with a Winnie the Pooh cake, balloons, and a good-sized stack of gifts for the birthday girl.
Not surprisingly, she was actually very excited about getting clothes from my mom. Abby is a bit of a fashionista, and she likes to change outfits several times each day if we let her.
Aleah (who is almost eight now) reported,
Since Aleah's birthday is very close to the due date for our new baby, we are planning to have her party a couple of weeks early just in case.
Speaking of the new baby, I can't believe how quickly the arrival is approaching. We are less than two weeks from our due date already! However, if our pattern holds, this baby will be about a week late. Time will tell. Maybe God has something different in store for us this time around.
I hope you enjoy some of the snapshots that I took!
