Abra at 8

Abra had her 8th birthday yesterday. Actually it seemed like her doll Nataly did. Abra/Nataly got a new doll bed (thanks Yiayia and Papou!) and Gramma made about 800 new outfits for Nataly. Here is Abra with Nataly sleeping in her new bed:

And for breakfast Mom made piggy pancakes (with a tip of the hat to my high school friend Cat who gave us the idea) for both Abra and her sister:


And when Abra went to school today, her whole class made her a birthday book. Here's the cover:

And all of the children colored a cupcake drawing and added a nice note. Here's Lily's:


And a very nice note from Kaitlyn:


And then there's that nice boy Ricardo:


Uh, wait. What? Ricardo, you dog!
