What a perfect weekend! The weather couldn't have been prettier and Addi's 2nd birthday party couldn't have been more fun!!! A friend of mine from photography class, Misty, came and took pictures for me so I really didn't take very many pictures at the party at all. It was actually so nice not to have to worry about capturing those special moments and just being able to be part of her special day. Misty is supposed to get me the pictures later this week so I will post them as soon as I can! I'm so excited to get them!
When Addi woke up on Saturday, Scott and I surprised her with our gift early! Remember the ugly blue chair I found at a garage sale for $5? Well look how it turned out!!! The same lady who painted Addi's table and chairs painted this for me! I was so pleased with it!
And so was Addi! She LOVED it!
It's the perfect little spot to relax and watch Nemo!
So here are some of the party details that I got before the party started...
Ice Cream buffet:
Strawberry Cake Cookies with Strawberry Icing...delish!
Smashcake for Addi on the cakestand I made...hope Misty got a better picture!
Cupcakes from Amy Cakes! There were lemon and strawberry and they were BOTH super yummy!
I would know...I tried them BOTH! It's hard to see, but the have hot pink edible glitter that was to die for cute!!!
Marshmallow pops!
Party hat for the Birthday Girl...she hated it by the way. Refused to wear it. Oh well.
Crepe paper ruffles for the background...pretty cute, huh? They were really easy to make...I will definitely make them again!

The Birthday Girl's chair...decorated with ribbons, of course!
Placemats for the kiddos!
And sippy cups!
There's the Birthday Girl!
Eating cake with Daddy...
Smash cake, ice cream with sprinkles, strawberry cookies and a marshmallow pop!
It's a wonder she took a nap at all!
The party was so much fun! There was a bounce house for the kids to jump in and a table set up with special Addison Birthday coloring pages. After we all ate cake (and other goodies) Addi opened her gifts. It was so funny because her friends were playing with her new toys as fast as she could get them opened. Our girl was showered with gifts, attention and love. It meant so much to us to have everyone there celebrating together.
After her party we headed to the Fall Festival at her school and then back home to have an OU watch party. It was a REALLY BIG day and we were all worn out last night! Today was another full day of celebrating! More pics to come...
Addi-girl, Daddy and I love you more than you'll ever know. You mean so much to us. You are such a smart little girl and your love for life is infectious. You have brought more joy to our lives than we ever thought possible. We hope you had a very special 2nd birthday!
WE LOVE YOU!

I'm so glad A napped - someone we know didn't! So sad to miss the festival but it was probably just as well.
