Big day for the neighbor Dorrell's--Abigail became two handfuls! We had a pretty normal day (for a day when the neighbor Dorrell's are home). I had school with Elijah, Isaac, Joy, Abigail, and Esther. Esther started her first cross stitch picture. She is stitching a rainbow--red,orange,yellow,green,blue, indigo and violet. We chose the colors from my large collection of embroidery thread and then she started making the red part of the rainbow. After lunch I holed up in our bedroom and got the presents for Abigail and Joy ready to be wrapped. Joy got the skirt and top that I had been working on for a while. Abigail will have to work a bit for hers...she will be making her own skirt and I will make her a top and leggings. Her present was fabric and thread! Elijah came over and played while I was doing that he brought a tub of Legos upstairs and built with them here in the sewing room while Goosey (Woody) worked on the computer. We went next door for supper. Abigail chose spaghetti for supper--yummy! Then she and Joy opened presents. After presents we ate Abigail's #10 cake--again, yummy! As I left to come over here to upload photos and sort through and choose what I would post on the blog, they settled in for a family movie night. The girls have had quite a time celebrating birthdays. They started this past Saturday with Joy's day while they were on the road heading to do a ministry program in GA. While in GA they visited with Kathy's parents and celebrated birthdays with them. So today was the final celebration for Abigail and Joy for this year! Seems like life is just one big party next door. But Kathy did say tonight that this was the last birthday for this year for those who live under their roof for this year. A bit of a reprieve before they start celebrating in January (Elijah, Kathy and perhaps their new little one). Judging by tonight's photos I think that Isaac "got into" this birthday celebration the most!!!! He REALLY enjoyed the cake and ice cream! And, by the way, Abigail's dress is the one that she bought in Africa.
