she's becoming a little tween right before my very eyes and
there is nothing this momma can do about it

abbie turns 5!

my youngest princess has turned 5
i still can't believe it
i am happy in a sense because 4 was a very tough year for abbie
tantrums and full blown fits were thrown on almost a weekly basis
it wasn't pretty
she had her good days of course too!
 
but first here is a little trip down memory lane...
 




 
oh my sweet abbie!
 
 
so here is how we spent abbie grace's 5th birthday. :)
 
well lets rewind a bit to Friday
of course we had to celebrate her birthday with all of her prek friends. :)
 
 
and of course her little brother came to celebrate her sissys birthday too!
 
 
 we started the day with birthday donuts. :)
