My Birthday Girl!!!

On Saturday, we had Abby's birthday party and it was well attended by pirates! Abby's cousin Matthew brought the pirate regalia (that the got at Legoland this summer,) and shared it with all of the kids.

Abby's cousin Brendan, brandishing a cutlass.


Michael, (who'll be three next Saturday, ) ready to repel boarders.

Babies Kiera Logue and Megan Retzman vied for "cutest baby at the party!"


A whole crowd of kids waiting for cake:

Abby, using her fork!


Michael, trying to get the whole piece in one bite.

Jen, Heather and Breanna.

After the party, a few people came by the new house, which we were happy to show off.

The new PowerWheels was a big hit. Abby's cousin's Brendan and Jacob have a lot of experience behind the wheel.

Baby Kiera found Abby's old Rocking Jitter-Buggy, loved it, and took it home with her.

I managed to get my Dad to stay overnight and help me out on Sunday priming all of the trim and wainscoting to go back into the living room / dining room.
