Abby scored this year with the party extravaganza's. Because we were in Texas over her actual day of birth...she got to have a family party, day of birth party, and friend party. At first glance, it appeared as if Abby was so sweet to share her birth date with Deak and the conference...at second glance, I realized she is no idiot. Ab raked in presents and cake three times. Seriously, when am I going to learn?
For her family party we went bowling and to Pace's. Except I couldn't bowl because I think I broke my finger in our disappointing last softball game a couple weeks ago. Blair just laughs when I show him though, and reminds me of the time I thought I had Anthrax.
In Texas Ab scored by eating a $5,000 dinner at Rainforest Cafe (Seriously it is a money hoarding pit). She also scored by just happening to "pass by" the Disney Store (another money hoarding pit).
Back home with friends, Ab had a Hannah Montana Rock Star Party. I can't complain much about this one; the kids were all truly so well-behaved and darling. Ab did have an issue when she did not win "Pass the microphone," but she survived. Her friends were so kind to her and brought her very thoughtful and sweet gifts. Abby is a lucky girl to have so many fun friends in our neighborhood and at her school. She is gone sun up to sun down, roaming the streets, and causing problems of which I pretend don't happen, while I sit at home drinking Diet Coke. (Just kidding mostly).
Deak got in on the action with my cute sis Maddi.
We had ice cream "microphones." Original right? :) Mostly, easy.
(Ab singing "Nobody's Perfect" into the microphone. I think her friend Alyssa, next to her, wondered what the hell she was doing.)
Blair and I underestimated the strength and coordination of 6 year olds and the pinata was knocked out cold in two hits. After that we just let the rest of the 18 kids take a turn beating it with a metal bat. (Maybe that had something to do with the calmness).
All in all...Abby is definitely a celebrated six year old. But, we think she deserves it.

Happy Birthday Abby (again). LOL I remember when you thought you had anthrax.
Jessie had a blast at the party! I gotta say- I'm making a motion to make birthdays a week-long celebration- would you like to second that motion? (comes in handy when it's actually OUR birthdays!)
What a cute litte party! My girls LOVE Hannah Montana too. You are such a cute mom! By the looks of the pictures it looks like you live by my sister and Marty, do you know if you do?
Happy Birthday and Happy vacations!!!! Glad you are having so much fun. Looks like life is treating very good! It was fun to catch up on what has been going on in your life! Take it easy...Amber
Looks like Abby had a birthday Johnston style. We like to celebrate for at least a week! My girls had a great time at the party! Presley ate all of their party favor treats.
I love Abby's dress, I would wear one just like it if I could!
How fun! Why do we spoil our kids like that! It seems like we are celebrating all month long!
Cute post! I needed a good laugh!
Jen,
Cute as always! If we ever get our computer fixed I will get to check up on them more often! It really is good we are next door!
