So, Thanksgiving was very nice.
The next day the family gathered for Abby's 20th Birthday. Also attending is someone who may very well become part of the family, Abby's boyfriend.
They've been together for a few years now and he seems to be quite a good lad with a good head on his shoulders so we will see what the future holds. He's in pre-med at UofM. He also has his EMT certification, and among other things, works part time for an ambulance company in addition to the crazy amount of studying a pre-med needs to do. They compliment each other nicely and make a nice couple
Her Birthday, as all family birthdays do, began with cherry cheesecake.
This was excellent.
In addition to the cheesecake, Leah decided to make Abby another cake to commemorate her older sister turning 20, completely decorated with her own lively sense of humor:
Yep, it says: "Congrats U Beat Teen Pregnancy".
It came complete with babies made out of fondant.
That kid has got quite the sense of humor, Abby and boyfriend were suitably embarrassed, and I daresay both parents were relieved that the message was true.
She then got most of her presents and had a nice time.
Her last present came a bit later in the afternoon. Her boyfriend took her on a surprise trip to Chicago for this weekend, and as they drove to Ann Arbor they kept on driving west. Leah helped by secretly packing a bag of her clothes and things and hiding it in the boyfriend's car. She'll be back in Ann Arbor tomorrow afternoon and back hitting the books Monday.
The kid is certainly growing up fast and has turned out just fine as a young adult. Heck, she's turned out rather awesome. Smart as a whip and a good head on her shoulders. Be fun to watch her continuing to grow.
So it was a great day yesterday and I'm thankful for that as well.

Congrats to her! And y'all have done well!!!
Old NFO: Thanks, she's turned out rather well. Most of the time our best course of action is to just stay out of her way.
