Abigail is 3 Years Old!

Happy Birthday Abigail!  We love you!!!!

Abigail went to school this morning and we took cupcakes that my friend Tara made for us.  Abigail loved sharing her pink cupcakes with her school friends.  After Emily got home from school, Abigail asked if we could go to a park for her birthday:

 

 It's funny to me how quickly she picked up on the fact that she could ask for us to do things today just because it was her birthday : )

I asked her what she wanted for dinner and she asked for Chinese:

When Joe got home we celebrated together with cupcakes and opening our present to her:

 

 

 

 We gave her some tag reader books:

 

And she opened cards from family:

We hope our baby girl had a great 3rd birthday!!!!!

Fall Festival

Today we went to Emily's school Fall Festival.  They had jump houses, pony rides, games to play, petting farm and lots more!

 Joe enjoyed a free massage : )

 Emily was nervous about riding by herself . . .

 Abigail stopped playing games once her prize was a sucker:

 Hair paint!  Emily chose orange and blue:

 

 Joe decided to get in on the hair paint fun:

 Abigail was so proud of picking up this chicken.  She held it for a while and the chicken just hung out and never tried to wiggle free:

 Then we headed to the park for Julia's birthday party:

 Abigail crashed in my lap at 5:00 today so after her nap and a bath she was ready to play!

The girls asked to share a room tonight . . . 

 A very fun Saturday!

Reuniting with Friends

Last Friday we met up with Emily's Pre-K friends at a pumpkin patch.  It was great to have all the kids together again and visit with the moms.  They had a jump house and we took a hay ride and picked out pumpkins.  They also had some farm animals to see.  It was a beautiful afternoon together.
Since there weren't many people there they let us take as much time as we wanted at the jump house so the kids played in there for about an hour.

Rachel brought her face paints so everyone got their face painted:

 Abigail climbed up on the table to watch Rachel paint:

 She was super proud of her butterfly:

 They also had these toy bulls for the kids to ride:

 About to go on our hay ride:

 

 This is the pumpkin Abigail picked out to take home.  She carried it around and kept talking about how cute it was.  I just kept thinking about the pants she was wearing that day.  These are the pants Emily wore to the hospital on the day Abigail was born . . . and now Abigail is old enough to wear them.  So hard to believe:
