Our sweet Abby girl is 13!
My parents came for lunch and brought Chinese food and a cake. She had looked forward to her special visit from grandma and papa!
When we asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday, she told us she wanted a minion pinata.
The picture below shows the "posed" picture of our kids.
This is the more normal, goofy, real life pose of my sweet kiddos(minus Taylor-it still seems odd not having him home on special days, like birthdays!) ready to bust open the pinata.
This picture is very blurry, but I love how it shows the pure joy on her face as she whacks the pinata!
Oooo a weak spot on his bottom!

The littles enjoying watching Andrew take his hit.
It is hard to believe it has been almost three years since Abby came home. Her choice of foods is definitely changing! This is the first birthday that she has not requested Chinese food for her birthday dinner. What did she choose? Roast beef with gravy(what my kids call "cow juice"), mashed potatoes, carrots, baked apples and homemade rolls. Hmm, what do you think, I think her food choices are becoming a bit more like American comfort foods. :)
After dinner she opened her presents and....
...had her dessert. Cake is not her favorite so she chose peanut butter bars with ice cream.
We didn't do much, but that night as I tucked her into bed she squeezed me tight and said, thank you so much, I love you mommy!
She has come so far, love you sweet girl!
