I ♥ Faces...Oh, Happy Day!

Alright, who doesn't love a birthday celebration? I DO, I DO! Well, BIRTHDAYS just happens to be the theme for this week's photography contest over at I ♥ Faces. What a fun idea, wouldn't you agree?

For this week's entry, I've chosen a picture of Abby on her 5th birthday back in 2001. We had our own little party at home, then a week or so later, we threw her another party with all of her friends. Abby is a lot like me, you know. One of her favorite parts of having a birthday is opening presents! You can tell by the look on her face that she was super excited by something in that bag! I still can hardly believe that this little girl of mine...my BABY, will turn 13 in October! Where did the years go?
Now, if you want to see some really amazing photographs, get movin' on over to I ♥ Faces as quickly as your little fingers will carry you!

She is so tiny and petite like her Momma : ). Adorable! I hope she got lots of great presents! Doesn't the time fly? I keep sprinkling magic stop growing up dust on Kaish at night but I can't get it to work for the life of me : )

Great picture, April!

My mother has a few old pictures of me opening presents with that same look on my face. And my wife says I still look like that when I get a gift.

Hi April
Abby is so cute. Her face is a picture of excitement.
Jessica looked just like that on Friday when your package arrived. People seem to give more money and vouchers when kids get older. A gift to unwrap is so exciting especially when it's from overseas!
Thanks for sharing this adorable picture.
