SURPRISE!!!

I don't think I've ever been so excited about a surprise as I was for Monday to get here!  Abigail is completely enthralled with the show, DC Cupcakes.  Earlier in the summer I pitched the idea to daddy-o us to fly there for her birthday and spend the day.  Of course, he said, "Let's do it!".  (ummm, don't forget we're an airline employee family- I'm soooo thankful for our travel benefits!) So...we did and had THE BEST time.  We walked our legs off and were exhausted at the end of the day, but worth every mile and every smile!  We kept it a surprise until we were at the gate in the airport.  I couldn't believe she fell for all the silly stuff we were telling her, but I guess it was too stinkin' early in the morning for her to think straight!  HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my most favorite Abigail...I love you to the moon and back!!!!

just figuring it all out...priceless!

We took her friend, Hannah, with us.
