Joint birthday party

Had a fun evening today.

Abrielle shares a birthday season with two other little babies that live in our immediate vicinity. A little girl named Sara turned 1 on April 4th, Abrie on April 24th, and a little boy named Cyrus turned one today. In fact, it turns out that Cyrus and Abrie shared a due date of May 14th! It's neat to have two other little buddies to grow up with in the neighborhood. Not to mention, they each have big sisters who Maddie and Faith get along with well, and there is another little girl that lives close-by as well.

Anyway, we had a joint birthday celebration for the three little one-year-old's today. Girlies helped make spinach dip, and we also took some fruit salad. The guys grilled hot dogs and burgers, and there was a lot more food also. There was even a cake shaped like a ONE, and each individual piece had their name on it. It was an awesome time! Maddie and Faith had a blast. They all play so well together, and despite Abrie not napping today (Lord help me! haha), she also had a great time. She was a bit of a fuss bucket at times, but that's what a no-nap day will do to you. She loved the cake though and the swingset.

Dan and I were talking about how lucky we feel to have met such great friends that are so close. We are just loving our neighborhood, and we feel incredibly hopeful that our girlies are already- and will continue to be- forging lifelong memories of living here.
