Abbey's Birthday

So over the last two weeks we have been celebrating Ab's birthday.  Pennie, Kelly and Katelyn all came out to the frozen mid-west for Abbey.  It was also Easter weekend so we got to color eggs, do an egg hunt and of course open a lot of presents.

Abbey really liked the Hannah Montana dolls she got from the Parkinsons, Oakesons, Granny and Rickie.  Brent and I got her a Hannah Montana guitar and wig, and a Pixel Chic house (they are like a tomagotchi but for girls).  We took her out to her favorite place to eat BW3's where she doesn't eat the chicken but eats the mac and cheese!  Whatever it is her birthday.  

This was also the first time that Kelly has been to South Bend so we showed him around the town, we went to the South Bend Chocolate factory and wore some fantastic hair nets!  The whole family really enjoyed having them here.

So my family left on Monday and Brents parents came into town on Thursday afternoon.  So instead of going to class like a good girl, I went with them to the movies that night.  On friday Abbey had her friend party. James and Rosie were awesome! They put up with 14 kids in the house, helped with cake and ice cream and entertained Zoey!  Grandma Rosie and Grandad took a shining to the little one (who doesnt? honestly). The girls sang Hannah Montana Karaoke, we did cake and ice cream, presents.  Time to go home.  My kind of party.  On a side note Stacey who always is there for me, had to work.  Paul brought the kids, and he was so fabulous!  He was right in there dishing ice cream and cleaning up. Way to go Paul. (or should I thank Stacey for the words of encouragement???)  Just kidding he was awesome.

The kids had a sleep over in the basement with all guests over the past two weeks so now we are getting back to normal.  All in all it has been fantastic to visit with family, but now we have to get ready for the finals and papers that are due in school. And of course spring break for the kids is coming up as well.  The fun just never ends!
