Birthday Party and FM!

So a lot of new things!! Abigail's birthday party was a great success!! On her birthday we let her open some presents in the morning, then Abigail and I went to Costco to buy some food for the party on Saturday. At 1pm we went to Penneys at Spotsy Towne Centre, and it was a horrible experience!! The pictures turned out great but they were awful there!! Only one person working, backed up, didn't seem to care to take the time to listen to what I wanted. I already have an appt with them for our Christmas card picture but if it's not a better experience we won't be going back!! The customer service people emailed me after I filled out a survey and they are sending me coupons for free portraits but it honestly is like too little too late. Then after the appointment I dropped Abigail at home with daddy and I went to Bloom for the rest of the shopping. Got home and started the cupycakes for the party! Mom got here around 7pm Friday night. I missed her and was glad to have her here! Saturday morning we got up bright and early to go to The Little Gym! My mom had a great time watching and playing with Abigail in gym class. Then we went to Wal-Mart and Wegmans for the last of the shopping! We got home and started making icing (well Andy made icing) cutting celery, setting up the table and getting ready!! Abigail had a good time during her party I think!! Everybody was an hour or more late because of an accident on Rt. 3 but it worked out okay!! Abby was awake and sweet for everybody and then took an hour long nap. We had a great time grilling out and just hanging out with our friends and family!! Mary Elizabeth came up and brought her puggle Gracie!! Gracie is an adorable dog and we all had a lot of fun with her!! All in all it was a great day!!

Also, I have recently joined the Fredericksburg Mommies! It is so much fun! Tuesday morning Abby and I met some mommies at Buzzys and had a lot of fun!! We went again today and afterward went to the FM Pumpkin Party!! Abigail helped me paint her pumpkin and we at all sorts of pumpkin goodies!! Pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin pasta!! It was great!!! Met a lot of nice mommies and babies and got to see some of the ones I already have met!! I think I may try to become a Co-Mod for the Spotsy mommies!! Should prove fun!!

Yesterday we had Abigails 12m appt! Daddy came with us since she needed to get shots :-( She is a happy healthy little girl!! 20 lbs 6 oz 30 in. and hitting her milestones!! We are proud of our little girl!

Lots of great things going on right now!! Tomorrow Andy and I are going to Richmond. Rose and Ronnie will keep Abigail all weekend! Friday night we are hanging out with Tony and Crystal and then Saturday I am heading to Wilmington to see a bunch of my sisters and watch my darling Lauren get married!! I get to see some of my friends that I haven't seen in years! It's going to be a great weekend!! I can't wait! I'll have to post pictures next weekend!
