Happy Birthday to our sweet Abby! 6 years old already. It seems like just yesterday we were anxiously awaiting her arrival and now she is a school aged child! Crazy! We are so blessed that she is in our lives. Her spirit is contagious and she is so sweet and friendly. She is our social butterfly :) We took her to NYC to celebrate her birthday. We stopped at the American Girl store so she could pick out her own birthday present. She chose a crutches and cast set, a ballerina outfit, glasses (to look like her friend Jora), a swimsuit, and a pair of kittens for her doll. She had so much fun deciding what to get and I don't have a clue how she narrowed it down. That store is huge! Three stories of dolls and accessories. You can get a photo taken with your doll or have her ears pierced. Just about anything you can imagine, it can be done. We wanted to eat at the restaurant there, but unfortunately, I called too late to get a reservation :( Abby didn't seem to mind and we ate at a different restaurant. We visited Grand Central Station, which is amazingly beautiful, and the Toys R Us in Time Square. They have a ferris wheel inside and the girls and Scott got to take if for a ride. Abby had a great day in the city. I think it was the perfect gift for her. She just loves NYC. There are quite a few pics from today. I really wanted a picture of Abby inside American Girl because she is so in love with her doll right now. I mean she screams in excitement when the American Girl catalogue arrives and she looks through it over and over. But, she wasn't in the mood for pictures today :( Oh well, it's her birthday and if she doesn't want photos then that is what she gets :)
