Just can’t believe that Abby is eleven years old. The time has flown by so fast. This web site started with her birth and continues on chronicling each of the French girls as they grow up.

After going skating a few weeks ago with some neighbor friends, that was all Abby could talk about wanting to do for her birthday. So, when I went to the roller rink a few weeks ago with Emily for one of her friend’s birthdays, I signed her up for a fun filled afternoon of skating with her friends.

First off, I didn’t know roller rinks still existed, but when you step into this place, it’s like a land that time forgot. The decor and the condition of the building is like something out of the 80’s, but I guess that’s the charm. I really enjoyed the video games, getting really close to a high score in Galaga.
At the end of the afternoon, they gathered for cake and opening presents. She told her friends she either wanted a gift certificate to Justice or art supplies. She got about 5 gift certificates to Justice (and one set of art supplies).

Abby said she had a great day and thanks everyone who sent her a gift and/or a card for her birthday. She’s growing up to be a very considerate kid.
