Abbie's 2nd Birthday Party

This photo pretty much sums up Abbie's birthday party. She was tired and cranky the entire time and spent a good majority in tears. Luckily, everyone else seemed to have a good time. We had pizza and salads, watched movies in the front yard, played with toys and generally let the kids run around the house and yard playing with one another.

It was a small family party with a few really close friends. We had the big Halloween party a few weeks ago so we didn't feel the need to invite everyone we know all over again...thank goodness!
Abbie got some really fun gifts and when she wasn't crying her eyes out, enjoyed being with all her friends and their older brothers & sisters.

Thanks to everyone for being so helpful...didn't count on running a party with a crying baby! You were all fantastic as usual. A special mention for Sam...she came over a few hours early and helped me hang lanterns, assemble and hang the movie screen and put together the movie projector. Hopefully birthday number 3 will be a little more enjoyable for the birthday girl!

This is about the best smile we saw all night

It looks like she had a good time even if she was cranky. Happy Birthday Abbie.
