She fielded an early morning phone call from her grandma, assembled around the little table for homemade waffles with strawberries, whipped cream AND sprinkles, then it was off to first grade for the very first time as a seven-year-old.
I came to school in the afternoon with ice cream cups in hand to celebrate with her class.
Abby wanted to go out for Chinese for supper, so up to Huber Heights we went to our favorite Chinese buffet, then came home for a birthday bath and finally opening presents and chatting with Grandma & Grandpa Phillips. We capped off our night the way we conclude every birthday, snuggled together reading On the Day You Were Born.
Daddy planned a Saturday outing in honor of the birthday girl, so off to EnterTRAINment Junction it was for an afternoon at the world's largest indoor train display. Not only was it an impressive collection of model trains throughout the history of railroads in America, but it is also home to amusement mazes and a kiddie play land. The girls loved it. And we all loved being together.
And after all of that, if you ask Abby the best thing about her birthday she'll tell you, "Being seven."
Happy Birthday, Abby!

So glad Abby had a great birthday. Looks like a blast. Were those real strawberries or fake ones?
