ABBY TURNS SIX

We had not celebrated Christmas with Michelle and family this year. So, Friday nite Michelle, Carter and Karlie arrived for us to all open Christmas gifts.   Kim and Abby also came to help them celebrate and also to celebrate Abby's six birthday. Abby did not really have a birthday party this year, she just celebrated with her cousins. She did want to go ice skating for her birthday and she got to do that.



 Abby and Karlie.

Yes, Abby is a little girl but she wanted a dragon cake and that is what she got.

Abby and Kim.

Abby can ice skate.  Abby had wanted ice skates for Christmas but Kim didn't think she would use them enough to warrant buying them.  Also, Kim wasn't sure she would be able to skate.  Abby was really good at it.  She fell a few times but got back up and went again.

Michelle could ice skate also but Karlie fell on her bottom too many times and decided she was through.  Karlie had a good attitude saying she would practice and practice until she became good at it.  But I think after she fell on her bottom a few times that good attitude went away.  Carter said it was the worst experience of his life. LOL

After she had fallen.

Michelle and Abby.

Go Abby Go!

The three.

Mama Rojas Mexican Restaurant.  After ice skating, we all went to a Mexican restaurant to eat.  This restaurant overlooks a lake.  It is my favorite Mexican restaurant, but we had to wait for an hour to get seated.  Abby told the waiter it was her birthday and they brought her out a sopaipilla with ice cream on top of it with a lit candle.

Hitting the pinata. Abby wanted a pinata for her party.  Yep, it is a dinosaur.   That is what she chose.  Carter said he would let the girls go first and then he would break it.  But, Abby broke it.  Carter and Karlie didn't even get a turn.

Picking up the candy.  By the time Tracy got back out with baggies for them to put their candy in, they had decided that each one could use one of the dinosaur legs to hold the candy.  Pretty smart!

ABBY RINGING IN THE NEW YEAR!
