Abbey with 3.1 kids to care for at home is something of the extraordinary. She keeps them busy by teaching, training, planning and feeding all three while keeping herself sane by talking with other moms. At the end of the each day she wonders why she keeps this up; because at the beginning of each morning she is reminded with the great smiles and kisses from all her kids: Zhao Kids.
This year like every other year, we have New Year dinner at Da's parents house. And again, its another exceptional dinner! However this year we have a couple changes. Da's parents are fully retired and have plenty of time and more importantly we have an addition to the family: Phoenix!! She's four months and just adorable!
Cayleigh wanted to be baptized on her actual birthday, have her birthday party, and get her ears pierced. For her birthday, she knew exactly what she wanted; she planned all the people to be involved in her baptism program-dad to baptize her, know what cake she wanted -Mango Moose Cake, eight metalic ballons, and have her ears pierced on the same day. The whole family helped out to plan her special day and she loved it!
This is the picture we chose to use for invite and baptism program.
The week before her birthday she given a purple crown/tierra and that entire days she wore everywhere and was in such a good mood, even helped cooking.
Huge smile getting her eight balloons and getting a fruit juice drink!
This is the baptism program Da made with her approval. She even wanted the insert "The Miracle" in there.
Minutes before she was going to be baptized.
While it was chaotic and everyone running around, we did manage to get a family photo! even while everyone already arrived.
Late that night we all went to the mall to have FF's ears pierced.
Her scared face right before her ears get pierced.
Priceless shot of the actual piercing
Her brothers went somewhere and when they got back they were intrigued and happy for her.
At home we celebrated her birthday with her favorite ice cream: Haagan Daaz Mango. Also Brennan decided to buy trick 'magic' candles that keeps relitting itself! At first Da wasn't keen on the idea but come to realize that Cayliegh really LOVE the candles!!
