Happy Birthday, Miss Addi Grace!














On Saturday, the 4th, our baby turned 4! Not so much a baby anymore :( We let Addison open her presents from us in the morning. She had already gotten a bike from Nana and Poppa, a package from Meme and Papa, and a package from Grammy and Grandpa. We let her open the packages when they came...lots of cute clothes, 2 movies, a Barbie (her first one) with Barbie clothes, and fun princess crafts. Her party began at noon and was at Playspace Children's Museum. It was so much fun! The kids got to decorate their own cakes (got rid of Halloween candy!), sang Happy Birthday to Addi, "helped" her open presents, and played. By the time we arrived home, both girls were ready for naps.

4 (+4) Things I Love About Addi

1. Addison Grace is 100% girl!
2. She loves people...young or old, boy or girl, family, friend or stranger. And everyone is her best friend.
3. Addi earnestly believes she is the best dancer and singer in the entire world.
4. She spends most all day, every day with me and still asks me to put her to bed almost every night.
5. Her face lights up each evening when she hears her Daddy's whistle as he walks in the door.
6. Addi likes to ask, "Do you want to snuggle me?"
7. She never sings the right lyrics to songs (see number 3). For example, she was singing the Bear Necessities song from The Jungle Book in the car this weekend. It goes, "It's just the bear necessities, the simple bear necessities. Forget about your worries and your strife." She sings "It's just the bear recipes, the simple bear recipes. Forget about your worries and your stripes." And the list goes on...
8. Addison is super protective of Libby. She adores her little sister and her little sister adores her.
