Abigail's 1st Birthday Party

January 23rd and 24th were very exciting days in our house. On her birthday she got to open the bouncing zebra from Grandma and Grandpa Upton. She loved it from the first sight of the box, could hardly wait for Michael to get it together, and literally rode it all day.

Here she is on it in the morning just after it was put together.

Here she is in her Birthday dress giving her baby a ride in the afternoon.

And here she's getting in one last ride for the day just before bedtime.

Saturday was her big birthday bash with lots of friends and family. Here she is eating cake with her twin cousins, Samuel and Savannah (born just three hours after Abigail).

Here is the chocolatey mess she made...yummy!!

This little video gives a glimpse of some of the party guests at the end of the party. We all had a great time...thanks everyone!

This is just after opening the bouncing zebra box.


Here she is riding it for the very first time.

We survived the holidays!

We had a wonderful holiday season 2008! It was so fun to see everything new through the eyes of Abigail...especially for her 1st Christmas! So here is a rundown of some pictures from November and December 2008. Hope you are having a very Happy New Year!!

Yep, you see two lines...Upton baby #2 is on the way in July 2009!

Here are the cousins on the Upton side at Thanksgiving, from left to right, Brianna holding Zoe, Lexi, Abigail, and Brittany holding Devin (Eliza was not able to be there for this one).

Here is the first view of Abigail's first tooth on the way, finally.

Here we are celebrating Grandpa Estep's birthday out to dinner.

Mommy and me looking all pretty at the Christmas Eve church service.

The neat car I got for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa Estep. It makes lots of neat sounds.

This is the fun ball tower...she loves the music it makes.

Here is her Dora chair...just her size!

Brittany, Eliza, and Brianna showing their Christmas gifts. They are all such beautiful neices!

Grandma Upton reading the funny Christmas card with the alarming wake up call. Check out the beautiful tree and Melanee talking to me in the background.

Abigail loves to hold her babies and rock them with mommy. Here she's in her swing with them.

Here's a great shot of her two teeth now. We figure more are coming soon.

I love her pretty eyelashes.

Cute little two toothes grin...awe!

Say cheese!!
