Abbie turned two!

Baby Abbie is not a baby anymore, she's a two-year-old! April 12 fell on a Saturday this year so we got to spend the day together as a family.

Excited to have Daddy back in town

She woke up to balloons and presents and a pink doughnut for breakfast! She got two big presents, the first, her purple polka-dot everywhere chair from Grammy. Jackson got his red chair when he turned two, so I guess we've started a tradition. And we got her this larger than life doll house, I ordered it on a killer deal months ago and we'd been saving it for her birthday. She also got some princess dolls, books and clothes along amongst other things :)

She woke up in such a cute and happy mood!

 She learned the birthday routine from Jackson and would keep saying, "nother present" after she opened each one.

After breakfast we got ready for the day ahead and for Abbie's party that we hosted at 11 am. She had a combined party with her friend Ariana from our ward, who happens to share the exact same birthday as Abbie!

Most of the kids with the bean bag toss game

It was a beautiful day and we ended up playing outside for a while

The food table, including snow white not-poison apples and Christina made an owl cake.

Having fun with some Princess coloring pages and stickers

Happy Birthday to you!

About to dig in to her snow white cupcake

It was a pretty low-key party with a couple games, some pizza and fruit for lunch followed by an owl cake for Arianna and Snow White Cupcakes for Abbie :)


After a nap, the birthday girl had fun in the sun for the rest of the day. The temperature was 70 degrees for the first time all year and it seemed like the whole neighborhood was outside that day. We played at the park, tried out Abbie's new helmet and chalk she got as presents.

So proud of herself on her "new" bike

A fresh box of chalk to start the season!

 We had one of Abbie's favorite meals - Mac & Cheese from Panera Bread, for dinner. We all ordered food and got it to-go so we could eat it at a park. We weren't about to sit inside on a day like that!

Her new nightgown from Nana was a big hit!

All in all it was a perfect day with our purple, princess loving girl!
