Abby's 12th Birthday

WOW!  How can this beautiful girl be 12!

I loved Abby's 12th Birthday! 

It was my favorite Birthday for her yet!

We started the morning with a SURPRISE PARTY!! 

All of Abby's friends came to our house at 7:00 am

in their pajamas.  We were hoping Abby would still

be in bed, but she had locked her door. We knocked

on her door and when she opened her door, 

everyone threw a balloon 

and yelled "Happy Birthday."

She was really suprised to see all of her friends!

Love Abby's bed head.

We piled everyone in the car in their pjs

and headed to IHOP for breakfast.

We had breakfast and opened presents.

Pajama Sisters

When we got home we were

surprised to see that the Beehives

had come to decorate our front

door for Abby's Birthday! So nice!

They decorated the door and the driveway!

We had some time as a family,

 to let Abby open her presents.

Abby got some NIKE Running shoes, a volleyball

and jewlery from her sisters.

Abby is such a great big sister.

In the afternoon Abby met with 

Bishops Redding and got a temple recommend.

James & I took Abby & 4 friends to the Bountiful Temple. 

 Anna, Lila, Amy, Abby & Kaylee

 It was such a special day at the temple.

James baptized all of the girls and I got to

hand them their towels as they came out of the font.

I LOVED every second.  It was my second favorite

day at the temple ever....second to our wedding day.

Afterwards we went home and had pizza

and 12 cupcakes and ice cream!

 Abby you are so BEAUTIFUL!! 

Abby ended the night going 4-wheeling

with The Black family by the "B".

It was such a special and fun day!

Abby, we are so glad you are in our family!
