My little ladybug turns 3

Abigail LOVES bugs!  She was very clear she wanted a ladybug birthday party.  She talked about it for WEEKS and would even invite strangers to her party.   She was so excited for it! 

I was very crafty for Abigail’s third birthday.  Partly because I started planning it too late to order anything, and St. George did not have a big supply of ladybug things.

  I made ladybug headbands for the guests….

ladybug beanbags, and leaves for games…..

and my sister-in-law gave me her bug pan so I could make these cute little cakes.  

 

The Guests.  Cousins Beckam and Mia, and friend, Matayleigh.

When the friends came, and gave Abigail her present, she immediately opened them.   She loved it.

Games.  We played a dancing game, decorated bug boxes, went on a bug hunt, and played throw the ladybug on the leaf game. 

Abigail wore her costume all day.  Here we are at Gabe’s soccer game.

Later that night, Mark took Abigail out on a special Daddy-daughter date to Fiesta Fun.  It wasn’t planned and she was already in her pj’s. She had So much fun with her dad.  She loves getting prizes with her tickets.

Abigail has been an absolute joy since she was born.  She’s easy- going and so funny.  She’s so often happy.   We’ve all loved having her in our home.  She’s a sweetheart, and will make us feel better when we’re sad.  She pretends to be a kitty cat 50% of the time.  She’s a fantastic eater, whether it’s broccoli or Cafe Rio, she’ll love it.  It seems like everything she does is cute or funny.   When she’s sad, she’ll quickly find a little spot she can hide in and sulk.  She is a little mischievous, but it comes from her curiosity.  The other day she was trying to draw a happy face on herself. 

We love her so much!  Happy Birthday little bug.
