Birthday Recap...

Abigail is now officially 3. The day didn't start off too well for her, however. She's had been pretty miserable over the past few days for whatever reason, and so it seemed to come to a head yesterday morning. I left for work a little later, and could see she was whiny and crying a lot before I left. But I guess after I left Eric had a tough time with her screaming and pushing Gillian. The report for the daycare when I picked her up wasn't much better. I got the "She had a rough day" report from Phyl. Luckily, when we got home she seemed to turn around, perhaps in anticipation of her big birthday celebration.

Both our parents came over, Gail bringing a cute giraffe cake and my parents a fun bath toy gift. We ate burgers, french fries, salads, and corn - which Eric prepared the day before on his last day off. It was fun, everyone was happy and Abby loved all the attention. Actually Gillian did too - taking this opportunity to show off her ability to sing and dance...

Here are of the, not so great, photos:

Look who's three!

And here are a few of the outakes...

Abby loved her giraffe cake.
Just not the sparkler.

They all got drunk.

to her grandparents...

Another fabulous family shot....
We need to hire a professional!

And, with all the confusion of drunk parents and grandparents, flaming sparklers, and a screaming Abby - Gillian opens the screen door and tries to run for it.

In all seriousness, thanks to Eric, my parents and his parents for making Abby's 3 rd birthday a great one!!
