It's My Party...

Addison had a great birthday party! She had all of her aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and even great grandparents there to celebrate. We grilled out, opened presents, and had cake and ice-cream. Addison was so good- all day long. The perfect little hostess:)

I didn't pull out the camera until present time...Addy loved the gigantic ball that she got. She loves to kick it.


She has not mastered how to make the animals pop up...but she is a pro at shutting them back in.

Heather, Brenda, and Mae gave Addy a HUGE horse. She was not sure about it at first, but she loves it. Now, she does not have to ask her Daddy for a pony someday:).

Addison's great grandparents bought her a push around buggy. She thought it was so fun.


After getting the prices on birthday cakes- I decided to enlist my mom and make Addison her cake. It did not look like Buddy did it, off of Cake Boss, but it turned out really cute. I enjoyed spending the day with my mom making it.

Addison was quite the entertainer. She saw her big cupcake- opened up big, and went right for it!!! She got more icing then anything...but went back for seconds, thirds, fourths...etc:)

She was the little mess when she was finished.

Addison just couldn't even stop to take a family picture.
We had such a fun day celebrating Addisons birthday. We feel so blessed to live so close to our family, and James Dad and step mom were even able to drive to come celebrate with us. It is hard to believe that Addy is already a year old. This past year has gone by so fast- and it has truly been an amazing year. We cannot wait to see what this year has in store for our family.

Happy 1st Birthday, Addison!

Addison had a great birthday and a great party! Here are some pictures from the week of her birthday.

Addison got a pretty new birthday dress to wear to church on Sunday. (you can't see the dress very well- but she was too cute in the picture).

She was not sure about opening her presents, but she did enjoy ripping the paper:)

She LOVED her glow warm. Well, she was not too sure about it at first. Now, she sleeps with it every night, and even at nap time.

She was in need of a new bath toy. She got 5 fish with a net to catch them in.





To celebrate, we took her to Baskin Robbins to get her first WHOLE scoop of ice cream. She was in heaven.
No surprise...she ate the entire bowl!

We got home kind of late- but she insisted on trying her new bath toy. She did great putting her fish in the net!
We had a fun birthday! Addison could not wait for her big party!
