Abbey's 3rd Birthday

Abbey's Birthday was on Sunday this year so we had both set of grandparents over after church at night and Abbey had her cousin Chloe come and spend the night too. We let Abbey open up 1 present before church in the morning as she was soooo excited that it was her birthday. :) She got a lot of Ponyville stuff from us.

Abbey waiting not so patiently for Daddy to get home from choir practice so that we could eat dinner.

Abbey got Dora Dominos from us as well.

Abbey got a beach Barbie and a Barbie pool from Grandpa and Grandma Terpstra, Uncle Thad, Uncle Kyle and Uncle Justin

Abbey got 2 new bathtowels from Uncle David, Auntie Amber, Chloe, Logan and Graeson

The birthday cake I made for the party. It was princess theme this year. Abbey wanted Dora again but I had enough Dora :)

Chloe and Abbey played with all of Abbey's new toys on the landing so that Gavin couldn't get at them because of the gate at the bottom of the stairs.

Abbey and Chloe spent most of the day on Monday playing with the Ponyville and Barbie stuff on the landing

They decided to go up to the second landing as Gavin was trying to push the gate over to get at them on the first landing :)

Comparison-Kids @ 11 months old

Here is another comparison for you. This time of the kids at 11 months old. The big difference now is the amount of hair Gavin has to the little that Abbey had :)

A lot has changed over the past few weeks. Gavin is now sporting 4 teeth and is officially walking. He is into everything. Also, Abbey turned 3 yesterday!! Yikes!! :) I will put pictures on later of her party.

This is my nephew Graeson. He is getting close to walking as well.

Gavin really likes my newspaper basket-so much that we had to take all the newspapers out so he could play in it.

Abbey loves feeding Gavin.

Gavin eating his first complete sucker. He's always shared with me before.

We went to the zoo on the 4th of July as Abbey was still free then:) After they turn 3 you have to pay for them. Gavin loved it and didn't want to go back in the stoller when we were done.
