abby's 11th birthday

hey everybody. just a quick little note before christmas... abby celebrated #11 december 13th, with a slumber party on the 14th. she and her 3 best friends sang, danced, watched movies, did crafts, played with make up, sang some more, sang some more, and sang some more ALL night long! :) i think she had a great time. it's hard to believe she's already 11! we had a little photo shoot in the basement the other night and i begged her to pose for some shots (she's not all that into having her picture made for some reason). i am SO happy she stopped for these pics - she is BEAUTIFUL, and the pics we got are really 'her'. i think she caught on to the fact that the photo-op was FUN and maybe i'll get her to stop for pictures more often.... here's hoping (seeing as how i am obsessed with taking pictures)! she has 2 make-up indoor soccer games tonight and then is off to nana's to have a birthday night with nana and pa (the kids get a spend the night/shopping trip for their b-days every year). soon - s.
