The day after Abby’s birthday we found the time and energy to celebrate. Katelyn could hardly contain herself. I had taken her shopping a few days before to have her pick a gift for Abby. I gave her two options to pick from to avoid the inevitable choice of the biggest toy in the store. She went with the water squirt animals which, in reality, she wanted for herself.
Devin helped Abby open her presents while trying to control Katelyn who was bursting with desire to “help” Abby.
As long as we kept Abby interested in opening the gifts, she seemed to get the concept of what she was doing.
I’m sure she is pleased to finally get something that belongs to her and not Katelyn.
After the gift giving chaos, we moved on to the cake festivities.
Clearly this family only makes one kind of cake as seen here and here. Don’t mess with a good thing.
First she went for the fire…
Then she wasn’t too sure…
She gave it a good poke…
And went for the first taste…
“This could be fun…”
Then she went for the big bite…
And decided…(cue the signature Abby pucker face)
Cake was definitely not her thing.
