Happy 2nd Birthday Abby!

Yesterday was Abby's 2nd birthday and we had a very fun day, to say the least! Cheyna, Nadia, myself and the kids met at Build a Bear in Destin and let the kids build stuffed animals. Truth be told they weren't very interested in the building part. They LOVED pushing the bear/baby strollers around and had a "stroller derby" as Cheyna coined the phrase. Luckily it was very slow in the store so they didn't really bother anyone. I chose a monkey for Nolan and some camouflage shorts and named him Manley (the Monkey). When we got home I let Nolan open the box and THEN, when there wasn't so much excitement he LOVED IT!!!! Anyway, then we ate lunch at Johnny Rocket's, this little 50's style diner. Then we went across the plaza to the playground area, where they also have fountains that kids run through. While I was debating if I had a change of clothes for Nolan he ran straight for and through the fountain and made my mind up for us. After a long and fun filled day, we thought for sure the kids would crash. Nolan slept in the car for about 1/2 hour or so, Abby not at all and neither of those stinkers took a nap! So the truly tired folks were their momma's! Abby & Cheyna came over for a very casual and last minute dinner and we sang to Abby and gave her these cute pink cupcakes that Abby herself picked out. Abby is truly a gem. She is one of those children that just make you want ten more. She's spunky and beautiful and hilarious and she likes my shoes and earrings and all the girlie stuff that Nolan could care less about. And the way Nolan adores her is almost more than my heart can bare. He mimicks her and loves her. We're so happy we were able to spend her 2nd birthday with her and we hope that there will be many more shared birthday's to come. We love you Abby!
