Miss Queen Bee

What a difference one year makes. Last year Abby was a sweet strawberry at just 5 months old, and this year, almost 18 months old, she was a little bumblebee! (Our friend Gracie let us borrow this costume--thank you!)

We were in Bossier for Halloween this year because LA Tech's homecoming was Saturday. Josh took half day so we could be there around 5ish, have dinner, then trick-or-treat with Peyton. This trip we hit a new phase. Abby decided both there (on Friday) and back (today, Sunday) that she wouldn't close her eyes to take a much needed afternoon nap. Needless to say, the evening of Halloween was a bit rougher than I was imagining. Don't get me wrong...she had a lot to keep her busy, but random strangers are opening their door to her, and she's never seen these people in her lives--she definitely wasn't all smiles for them :-)

But the point was to get PICTURES of our precious little bumblebee! She looked so sweet!




Besides just being a bumblebee, at school on Thursday she got to dress up, too. I didn't think the bumblebee costume would be quite as comfortable for the day, so she got to be a Louisiana Tech cheerleader! I just love it!

OK, back to the weekend...

I'm full of random pictures, as usual. Abby entertaining us while we were eating out. She's always so full of it at restaurants. She cracks me up with all her funny faces! Singing "If You're Happy and You Know It" She puts her index finger to her cheeks now. (Obviously she was just taking them down, but you see the point!)

LOVES eating with a fork now!
She LOVES being outside and with as beautiful as the weather has been, I can't blame her. I've enjoyed it, too. At my parents house, we'll just let Sandy outside, and we'll all sit on the patio. Sometimes we like the long driveway, too!

Calling for Sandy!
Dainty.
Her daddy said she had to wear her Tech t-shirt today, after all, they did win yesterday!
