Abby's 4th Birthday

I realize that it's now almost two months since Abby's birthday party and I'm just now getting to post the pictures. I can't believe I didn't post them sooner since I took a gazillion photos and had to narrow it down to these 20 or so! Anyways, we celebrated Abby's birthday at Sci-Port Science Center and it proved to be one fun party! Our party host was fantastic and kept all the kids entertained. What a wonderful day!

She's ready for the party! :)

We had Abby's birthday party at Sci-Port Science Center this year. It was so much fun and we would definitely do this again. Everything was perfect and a lot of fun as you will see...

It's the birthday girl and our wonderful party host! Abby is going to make Sci-Port's famous liquid nitrogen ice cream!

She poured in several ingredients but now she's pouring in the cream...she is a master at this!

Stir, stir, stir...

She's getting the hang of it! She was having a really good time!

Now it's time to put in the liquid nitrogen! I was a big scared at first since our party host started putting on all her safety gear and warned us about the hazards of spilling it. But, the kids were amazed as were we when she started pouring...

ooooooohhhhhhhh........

After mixing the ice cream ingredients with the liquid nitrogen our party host let the kids
inhale a bit of the freezing mixture. They all thought it was pretty cool!

Now it's time to taste the famous "liquid nitrogen" ice cream! I have to say that it was quite good. Reminded me of a good ol' Dairy Queen ice cream cone. Very tasty I must say! Everyone enjoyed it!

On to the cake! The wonderful Cake Fairee made Abby's princess cake again. She does such a wonderful job and Abby fell in love with it!

All she wanted to do was stare at it for a while. She is such a princess girl!

Abby was a bit shy when everyone starting singing Happy Birthday to her but she did manage a cute smile too!

Blowing out the candles...

Looks like everyone is enjoying their ice cream, cake and cupcakes! Yum!!

Here's Abby discussing "princess stuff" with Wyatt...not sure he's too interested! Ha!

Time to open presents! Wasn't sure how this was going to work considering in the past we've opened presents after the party but here it goes....

Abby was overwhelmed with everyone hovering over her so they took over...

Ha, I had to laugh when I took this pic of Abby and Tripp. They are too sweet with each other!

Here are the kids playing with one of the exhibits...which tennis ball will go faster? The one on the straight ledge or the one with the curves? Did you guess right...??

Here's Abby with her buddy, Tripp! I love this pic of them two. They have alot of fun together!

It's off to do some construction work at Sci-Port!

We made it back home and it was time to open more presents from the family. She received so many nice gifts! Thanks everyone!

And then she finally got her own digital camera! Yep, it's a real one and now she can use it instead of borrowing mine!

What a fun birthday Abby had this year! Thanks to all our friends and family for making it extra special for her! Still can't believe she's 4 years old already...(sniff, sniff)
