"Have We Got A Party For You"....Henry turns 5.


I love that God blessed us with this special guy 5 years ago. We celebrated him in December, but I am still in catch up mode. We have had some fun parties  and birthday fun with Henry Patton.

  This is what 5 looks like...welcome to 5, Henry! 

When you turn 5 you need big boy clothes...so he got his first Under Armour hoodie so he can look like the big kids at Valley View. Bless it.

 And when you turn 5 you get your first big boy Bible. This is the coolest Bible too. It is leather and the illustrations are the movies we watch....it is Bible perfection for Henry.


Blowing out his candle before school in his cool, 5 year old way. I love celebrating this guy.

 All ready and excited to take Smurf cupcakes to pre-k in his new hoodie as a 5 year old. It was a pretty rocking morning in Henry's world.

 He wanted a VeggieTales party at Pump it Up. So, I had the cutest cake made. He helped pick it out and design in. It tasted like wedding cake. It was an amazing cake, inside and out. It better have been....because it was not cheap.  I loved the bakery because it is all nut and allergy free so our friends with peanut allergies got to eat cake at our party this year. It was worth it just to see those excited little guys learn they could have cake!

 All ready to greet his friends at his party.

In true Abby fashion, I brought my own partyware for the place to use in lieu of theirs. Those girls there helped me make it just perfect. I had to order the balloons online and have them blown up in town. Henry loved them though and they stayed blown up until after Christmas!

The cutest crew in town, right here. We loved having church, school and neighborhood friends all join us to celebrate Henry. He sure is a blessed and loved little guy.


Blowing out his birthday candles and ready to eat cake and open presents!

 Silly and tired children about to head home. We had his party on a Tuesday night, a school night. It was the perfect time and we had a good turn out because it was a week night and supper time. And...it was on his actually birthday too!


I am so grateful for this healthy, happy, smart, witty, loving boy of ours. We are excited about another year with him. We had such a fun time celebrating him, Veggie style.

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good p...

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu...
