What a blessing we have in Abby Kate!

Shelby spent a lot of time trying to catch these beautiful butterflies in the backyard.

Kel- you are the only one I told to get that!

 my buddy!

She was so sweet and let Toby help her open presents.

AK decorated her cake and did a great job!

Ballon (water and air) toss

Egg race- Shelbs was serious about winning this one!

Ok- the funny thing was that after the race, several kids asked me if they could eat the hard boiled eggs! I was so surprised when they sat down and peeled and ate them- without salt!

I was loving on my Julie- have missed her!

Love this- pure joy!

Mark had the most fun of everyone with the pinata- he kept raising it when they would try to hit it.

Collecting the loot. It was a great celebration of our sweet Abby Kate!
