The whole dinner was fabulous. The step-mother and step-sisters were a hit with everyone.
Grandpa even got in on the fun when he was chosen to dance with one of the sisters during the waltz!
The step-mother quickly decided that he was not a 'suitable' partner (I think the age difference might have had something to do with that!) and so she recruited my brother to finish the waltz with her daughter.
After all of the characters visited our table, we ate dinner. The food was great! I had read reviews saying that the food was just ok, and that the characters were what made the experience. However, we were very pleased with both food and characters....AND they did a great job with our large group. Abby opened her gifts there at the dinner. It was hilarious watching her open them with the wicked step-mother peering over her shoulder! (Yes, she is actually hugging the box. Mean mommy that I am, I wouldn't let her take the doll out while we were at dinner!) :)
Today she wanted to go to the mall to spend the money that was burning a whole in her pocket. She chose 2 new webkinz....the penguin and the gray cat (thanks Mimi, Papa, and Grandma M.). After that we came home and made her cake together. That was the only thing she insisted on the whole day....she wanted to help make the cake.
Before dinner, she received the news that her greatest wish for her 8th birthday had come true. She has a new cousin that shares her birthday. Baby Sophia arrived one hour early of sharing the exact same time of birth as her older cousin. We can't wait to meet her!!
The evening was filled with friends, pizza, cake, ice cream, and a movie. All in all, I think it has been a great birthday for her!
