Abby's 11th All Around

A daughter is a day brightener and a heart warmer.
~ Author Unknown
The time had finally arrived for Abby's 11th B'day Party. Just like her 10th b'day party, she chose to have her party at our casa and came up with all the activities that would take place.
Favorite treat of the night - fresh raspberries filled with chocolate chips! 
Yummo!!
Duck Tape Extravaganza
(one of A's very fave past times had to be incorporated into her par-tay)
Who Am I Game?
Yes and No ?'s to find out who you are
Confetti (multi flavored) and Chicago Mix 
(half cheese/half caramel) Popcorn
Pictionary Time!
guess what I'm drawing...Zoe got lipstick! :-)
Raspberry Sparkling Punch
Craft Time 
Outdoor Just Dance III on the Wii
A few friend pics 
(still kicking myself that I didn't get them all)
The B'day Girls
Silly
more silliness :-))
Baby bro jumps in
Dinner Time!
(The B'day Girl chose Taquito's, Chips and Queso, Carrots and Ranch with Fruit)
Jammin' in da Jacuzzi 
El took the opportunity to have the Wii to herself while the big girls soaked :-)
gettin' silly
slip 'n slide!
Telephone Game
(whisper a phrase in the ear of the person next to you and go all the way around until last person - and then they say out loud what they "heard" - hilarious what ends up being said!)
I LOVE this pic
not planned...spur of the moment = best

After drying off, the girls headed to the yard for some free style dance & gymnastics
 
more Just Dance...
silly sister
Just a Swingin'....
Ella's airplane
Cake Time!
Abby's B'day Cake Creation
she reeeeally wanted the b'day donuts w/ Happy B'day Abby spelled out...however, they are not open on Sunday, so they woulda been stale by the time of her party if picked up on Sat.
So I talked her into making a cake out of donuts that were picked up on Sunday....after a trip to Hobby Lobby and Michael's, we found a few things to Spunk up her cake.
"Happy Birthday to Abby..."
make a wish
dig in!
BTW, b'day girl no longer smiles showing teeth - and she has a beeeautiful smile...don't get it
after just a couple of bites into her sweet goodness, look what happened!!
she LOST HER TOOTH!
she couldn't stop giggling...and she has LOVED sharing that she lost her 11th Tooth with her 11 friends at her 11th B'day!
Party Favors
(cool lil' woven friendship bracelets adorned with Rhinestones)
Gifts await...
her new green leopard spectacles from none other than Claires in the mall 
*~Happiest 11th Birthday to my Amazing Abby Lou!~*
You light up our lives with your Joy, your Passion, your Kindness, your Generosity, your Creativity, and mostly your unconditional LOVE. God Blessed us BIG when He gave us YOU...and oh how we Love You SO.
