Abby Turns 3

Can you believe it? - my big girl has turned 3!

The day Abby turned three, she ran into our room when she woke up (usually she stumbles in) and yells "I went to bed and woked up and now I'm three!"

And tucking Abby in the night after her party, she says to me: "that was a perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect day."
