Abby's 9th Birthday

Abby with her Frozen Birthday cake.

The kids had fun making Olaf, Marshmallow, and snowgies.

After lots of Frozen games, they ended with a Frozen treasure hunt throughout the house.

Abby reads almost constantly and I have a hard time keeping her in books.  I've enjoyed reading some of my favorite books with her.  On her birthday we finished reading Little Women and then watched the movie together.   Abigail has grown up a lot in the last year.  She has become very responsible and helpful.  If I'm tired in the morning from being up with Audrey all night, Abby will get breakfast for Maddy and Nathan, or if I'm busy homeschooling she will go make sandwiches for lunch.  She is also very helpful with Audrey and is always willing to change her diaper, hold her, bring her to me, or play with her.   Abby is a delight and we feel very blessed to have her in our family.
