it's great to be abe...and eight

it was abe's birthday on january 20th. he turned 8!! abe is such an important part of our family. he is a great brother, a peacemaker, has a great sense of humor, works hard in school, and wants to be good. it was a busy day with school, sadie's dance, and basketball, but we tried to make it feel like his big day.... at breakfast i had his baby book out. i realized he hasn't looked through it for years. it was all new to him. he laughed at his pictures and even took a few to school to show his class.
breakfast was the standard pancake with a candle.
later, i took donuts to his class as requested.

after basketball and dinner, we finally got around to presents (around 8:30pm)

i think the wait was worth it....who wouldn't be excited about mini goals and knee hockey?

we love you, abe.
we think you are an all-star!
