the birthday party

This year I wanted to do something a little different. I thought about it for weeks and couldn't come up with a thing. Then Groupon gave me an idea. Some time ago I purchased a mommy & me pottery session to use on a rainy day. All that came back to me and I thought, I wonder if they do birthday parties. And they do. Addison chose a hand mirror with a princess crown to paint.
She wanted all Hello Kitty decorations. Plates, cups, napkins, birthday banner. She picked out the birthday ribbon that she is wearing. I surprised her with a Hello Kitty cake. She still gets a little shy when we sing Happy Birthday to her. I think it is one of the cutest things ever.
More shyness and making a wish.
After the party we went home and opened presents. She even let Morgan help.
For weeks she's been talking about this mermaid that swims all on her own. My mom was nice enough to fulfill her wish. Avery is used often and the girls love to teach her to swim just like they were taught. It cracks me up.
Addison had a great time with her friends. She still had 3 more days until her birthday and couldn't wait. It was so fun to see her so excited about a birthday. This weekend I get to pick up all the pottery and deliver it to the kids at school. I can't wait to see how everything turned out. I know they will be fabulous.
