my baby turned 4 on the 26th! i say it every year, and i will continue to say it, i can't believe how old she is! and i can't believe how quickly we've gotten to 4! it seems like every year is shorter and shorter.
this year we had a fancy nancy birthday. if you don't know who fancy nancy is, she is a little girl who loves everything fancy. fancy clothes, fancy decorations, fancy pets and especially fancy words. it's a wonderful little book series that introduces children to vocabulary that they otherwise wouldn't hear. abigail loves fancy nancy.
now, you can't have a fancy nancy birthday without an extraordinary (which is a fancy word for remarkable) birthday cake. i promised my child such a cake. a mistake? probably. it took me two days to create that monster, even with my mom helping me roll fondant all day (thanks, mom!). it didn't turn out quite as fancy as i had planned, but i ran out of time and energy. abbey loved it, even though it wasn't perfect, and was so proud to have such a fancy cake.
continuing with the theme of her party she received several fancy nancy books (abbey loves books!), a leapster, and a princess bicycle from mommy and daddy. she was so excited to open her presents, and she couldn't decide what she was going to play with first. it was so much fun to watch her dash back and forth between presents every couple of minutes.
abigail was ecstatic (which is a fancy word for very happy) to have danny's whole family and alyssa and jacob at her birthday party via web cams. i am so grateful for video chat, i don't know what we'd do without it.
