Abigail turns 12!

This is the birthday blitz on my blog. We sure have a lot of birthdays to celebrate in a 6 weeks period.  Abigail had a big birthday, turning 12 and entering the Young Women's program in our church.  Unfortunately, she was sick on her birthday.  She stayed home from school and mostly read on the couch and took a nap.  Now that she is 12, her life has sure become busier.  She is in Middle School which entails more homework and coordinating.  She still plays the cello, in advanced strings at school with weekly lessons, and loves to go to climbing club after school.  She recently made the select soccer team at school and with practices twice a week and games against other international schools here in Singapore throughout the next few months, she is one busy girl.

She wanted carrot cake for her birthday.  Yummy.

 Juliet is a little bit into candles, especially lit candles.  She did this herself to her piece of cake and wanted us to light them.

 Always a crowd around the birthday girl when the presents come out.

 Abigail and her good friend Caitlyn, from New Zealand.  She is in our ward and lives down the street from us.

 Ella enjoyed wrapping herself us in all the wrapping scraps.

I took Abigail and her friends out to lunch at the High School Subway for her birthday.  I had a fun time getting to know her friends and seeing how much fun they have together.  (It was Chinese New Year celebration that day so some of the girls dressed up for it,)
