How to Celebrate Your 7th Birthday

* wake at 5:34am, but stay in bed until 6:00am to give mom a break
* open presents from mom and dad, grandmas and grandpas, aunts, uncles and brother and sister
* ask for, and receive, pancakes with sprinkles, and a candle, for breakfast
* play with new gifts for 2 straight hours in the morning
* head to the beach for an afternoon of fun
* come home from the beach to find Percy Jackson the Lightning Thief movie delivered from Netflix
* watch Percy while mom makes requested birthday dinner:
      ~ tuna sandwiches
      ~ corn on the cob
      ~ strawberries
      ~ chicken and stars soup (yes, it was 90 degrees but she wanted soup)
      ~ bbq potato chips
      ~ lemonade
* have another round of birthday cake after dinner
* play outside with dad and H&G
* retire to bed with a smile

All and all, a pretty good day for Miss Abby! 7......really? 7? Where has the time gone......

Birthday Girl

She blew out the candles and then said, "oh no, I forgot to make a wish!" Mike re-lit them and she blew them out again....and made a wish!
