How in the world is my BABY five years old?!!! We have spent the last few days constantly hearing, "M-ooom, I can do that now, because I am 5." Lets just say she is 5 going on 15. We had SUCH fun celebrating her and will finish this weekend. Last year we gave her the option to have a party at home or go to a hotel for a night with her Daddy and I. She chose the hotel and we had a BALL eating pizza and junk food and swimming. B and I both had winter birthdays so we remembered how fun it is to swim in the middle of winter! We gave her the same option this year and she chose the hotel again. We are super excited!
We got to go to Neannie and Pop's last weekend for a thanksgiving/Christmas/birthday celebration and had a wonderful time with the whole fam! Abby Kate loved every single second of it!
The day of her birthday, we celebrated with birthday doughnuts, a cake party at school and then Sweecie let her chose what she wanted for supper and she wanted to make her own pizza, which she did with perfection! We then ordered Mazzios Oreo Pizza (another one of our favs) for dessert. It was a FULL, FUN day!
We literally are amazed at this child. She is one of the most observant people I have ever met. She drinks in EVERY detail of life. She loves people. She is interested in everything (asking why no less than 5 million times a day). She has an amazing imagination. She is witty. She laughs a lot. She makes the best, most expressive expressions. She is earnest. She is kind. She is a perfectionist. She has a VERY strong will. She loves adventure. She has a constantly working brain. She is very sensitive. She truly is an amazing creation!

We could not be more humbled to be entrusted with Abby Kate. Father, please parent her through us. Grow her into a woman of intense character. May she reflect YOUR glory and find her worth and identity in You alone. Please let her be head over heels in love with You and Your Word. Please harness her will and quench any rebellious spirit that may arise within her. May she constantly surrender to Your Lordship in her life. Continue to give her a sensitive heart. Please protect her beautiful innocence. May she see the world through Your eyes, feel with Your heart and speak with Your words. Thank you Father for giving us such an amazing gift. We are so unworthy...
