Abby had a great time helping prepare the cake for her birthday celebration--and clearly enjoyed eating it too! She wasn't so sure about candles this year. When we celebrated Shawn's birthday Dec. 21, Abby cried over the candles. (We think they must remind her of fireworks.) So for her cake, we just had frosting and Dora figures to decorate the top.
She seemed as if she was going to be a little timid opening gifts. After the first one was opened, she wanted to play for about an hour before she would open any others. We were up for a long night! By the second gift, she had it figured out, and by Christmas morning, she was a pro. She was able to open gifts December 23, 24, and 25, and after her nap on Christmas Day, woke up asking, "presents?" She was grateful for the packages that arrived after the date. It helped her ease down off of her high!
