Party time

Warning! Picture overload.

We had a great little party for Addison on Saturday. Michael's parents were able to come in from TN to celebrate with us and my Mom and Jim came up for the day as well. It was the perfect low key celebration. Since I'm very pregnant (and happen to be sick) I had not intention of throwing a big shin-dig like last year. Instead, I splurged on these delicious cupcakes from CamiCakes.

Addison has been singing Happy Birthday since we went to her first birthday party in January. And for the past week she's been singing it to herself. She was so excited when everyone gathered around to sing to her. And then she got a little shy. These have to be my two favorite pictures.

Addison adores Michael. Most mornings Michael is the one to wake her up. On the days that I make it in there to do it, the first thing she says to me is "Where's daddy?". I love these two so much.


Then her fancy cupcake ended up here. That's her looking up at Michael wondering what just happen.

I thought the biggest hit of the day was going to be the swing set. Don't get me wrong, she loved it! My mom and Jim were originally going to get this for Addison at Christmas, but we made them wait since we weren't sure if we were going to sell the house. But if I had to guess her favorite gift it would probably be the plastic shopping cart with food (seen in the background of the below picture). I think she pushed that thing around for 3 days straight. She has since backed off a little and now we swing for about 45 minutes every night. I wonder how she doesn't get sick.



The doctor's kit was another big hit. She walked around that afternoon telling us all that we were sick and then she made us feel all better. We tried to get a family shot and she wouldn't take it off. Michael and Addison always take the cutest pictures together.

Here's my attempt at a picture with her. I'm only posting this because I can laugh at myself. I think this is a mixture of her wanting her stethoscope back that Michael took from her and me telling Michael to give it back so we can get a decent picture. Like how that turned out.

It was a fun day. Addison had a great time with her grandparents around and the girl's from next door. And I had a good time eating cupcakes, Chick-fil-a and lounging in the backyard while everyone else entertained my child. :)
