Yesterday was a big day in the life of Abbey, one she’s been looking forward to…
Sweet 16
Her wish? Dinner out with her family, with her best guy Josh tagging along. No birthday cake, just the massive chocolate cake at her favorite restaurant. No birthday song…we disagreed with this one and sang to her anyway.
Dad, quit taking my picture already?!
Her sibs and Josh got together and ordered (well, we will order…they weren’t sure about size) a pair of Hunger Games embroidered Toms. She was obviously pleased with their choice!
We gave her a jewelry “closet” (she called it that), a “Sweet 16” charm for her charm bracelet, and a camera upgrade from her “point and shoot”.
Here’s a shot of that chocolate cake I mentioned…she even shared some with the rest of us.
Once we move to the new house (insert shouts of glee), we’ll throw her a fun party…we’re thinking a take on the Amazing Race and then back to the house for traditional party food. I’ll make sure we sing happy birthday to her again. She’ll love that.
Abbey, we are so proud of you, love you to pieces, and can’t wait to see what the future holds for you! Happy 16th, Abbey-girl!

Great photos of Abbey’s very special day…Sweet Sixteen!! She looks like she was thrilled about the whole celebration, and who wouldn’t be with great people to celebrate with and wonderful gifts to receive!!
Abbey, Granpa & I are so proud of you too…and yes, we also love you to pieces!!! …and we also have daydreams of when you were younger and the “sprinkes and gummy bears on my ice cream, Granpa!” You’re our beautiful Abbey…on the inside and outside. Happy 16th Birthday, Honey!!
