Celebrating with the Fam

We concluded Abby's birthday weekend festivities with a family celebration. It was complete with lots of food, beautiful cakes and lots of laughs with a whole bunch of people we love. Who was here? Grammy, G-Diddy, Uncle Brad, Aunt Alex, Aunt Cyncy, Papa, Uncle Cory, Grandma and Casey. We had a great time together! 

I love my four year old.

Papa arrived with a yummy appetizer surprise for all of us to enjoy. Shrimp and pineapple wrapped in bacon and coated with teriyaki...yes please! 

This gem happens when Papa holds the button on the iPhone and takes 300 pictures in five seconds.

Ella napped through the beginning of the party and took some time waking up slowly on Grammy's shoulder. Sweet moments.

Abby tried to trick us all and make us think she was napping in the middle of the party...yeah right.

Time to open some gifts! 

She was excited that Uncle Cory loaded up one of his old iPods with some of her favorite songs and gave her cute Hello Kitty headphones to go with it. The best part: She calls them her Earpods. Yes. Earpods. And I will not correct her until absolutely necessary! Stay little as long as possible, my girl.

The gorgeous cake Nagymama ordered for Abby's birthday. It was so beautiful that no one wanted to cut into it! 

Our family friend who made the cake also sent a mini one for Ella.

For me?!?!

Ella's day was made when Grandma took her to the side and gave her this Barney. Ella loves her Barney. We had been searching for a Barney high and low over the Christmas season, but couldn't find him anywhere....until now! Surprise!

I love my littlest girl!

Thanks to our whole family (near and far) for making Abby's birthday memorable. It was a great weekend. We love you all! 

On Monday, we were pretty wiped out. but glad for some time quality time with Aunt Cyncy before she headed out of town. 

Thanks for making the long trip, Aunt Cyncy! Love you!
