Our sweet Abbie turned 8 on Oct. 13th. This has been such a big birthday for her, it seems like there are so many milestones at this age. We started the morning off with breakfast in bed (she ended up eating it at the table with us).
Then, she opened up her presents from us. We got her her first set of "real" scriptures with her name on them. At first she wasn't super excited, but after we explained what they were and how special they were, she loves them and feels so big to have them. We also got her a special journal and an outfit.
I always take them on a special date with just the two of us on their birthday. Abbie chose lunch and a pedicure this year. I have to say I was just as excited as she was to get a pedicure.
That night we had her birthday dinner. The Menu
(chosen completely by Abbie)
Grilled Steak
Tortilla Chips
Queso Dip
Fruit Salad (strawberries, blueberries, and bananas)
Dessert:
Brownies, Cookies and Ice Cream
