more celebrating

On Addi's REAL birthday (yesterday) we layed pretty low. We all had a big day on Saturday so it was great to take it easy on Sunday.  Clark, Amanda and Baby Harper came for the party on Saturday and spent the night.  Addi was so excited to have a sleepover with Baby Harper!  On Sunday we slept in (a little) and went out for a late breakfast.  Addi's birthday, September 26th, is National Pancake day so naturally, we had pancakes!

After Addi's nap, she wanted to go to the BIG park!

This was only our second time to go to the First Baptist Church park and I could tell a huge difference in Addi's confidence.  She explored on her own and was very brave and tried to do all of the equipment on her own.  She did a great job!

Addi loves to bear crawl in gymnastics and she showed off her skills on the climbing "wall"!

She really liked the musical area this time and played all of the instruments!

Her park favorite is always the swings!

Whew! She worked up an appetite!  Good thing we brought a picnic!

Her friends, Hud and Raegan,  gave her this awesome new owl lunchbox for her birthday!  It was the perfect little bag for our picnic snacks!

Wheat Thin sicks...YUM!

Cheers, Daddy!

She thought it would be fun to sit on the slide and eat her sticks.  Whatever the Birthday Girl wants!

And then she decided to joke around with Daddy before we left.  Talk about two peas in a pod...those two are so much alike!  No wonder I love them both so much!!

After dinner, we sang Happy Birthday and gave Addi a cupcake!

She loved looking at the candles, but didn't want to blow them out, so I had to help her out a little!

YUM-O!!!!

She quickly got sticky fingers and needed a wipie ASAP!

What a fun birthday for our little sweetie! 

Today I took Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins to her classroom for her little party.  I also had some left over marshmallow pops and they were both a hit!  It was right after nap so everyone was still a little sleepy when I got there, but they quickly livened up once they got a little sugar in them!

Here's the special girl, herself!

Her friends really liked their sancks too!

Savannah

Ian

Miss Chocolate Face

Teeter Totter Buddies, Addi and Ian!  Addi didn't want to wear her special birthday sticker that said "Today is Addi's Birthday" so Ian wore it for her! I didnt' get a picture, but it was hysterical!

Licking those lips to get every last crumb!

Here's Sophie!

And Tehan!

And Joselin!

And Addi's two very special teachers, Ms. Deidre and Ms. Betty!

Well, that concludes the birthday celebrations for this year.  I can't believe it's come and gone so quickly!  Our little girl really is growing up right before our very eyes!  Happy birthday sweet girl!  We hope you had so much fun at all of your celebrations!!!  We love you!
