On her birthday morning we woke her up with a ton of balloons on her bed and on her bedroom floor. We had a birthday song blaring from the computer. She blinked her eyes open to see her crazy parents leaning over her singing and dancing! She wandered into the living room and for several minutes did not notice the pile of birthday presents! Once she finally saw them she didn't know what to say!
We made breakfast, opened presents and got ready for our trip to the hot springs.
We had her birthday party back in Missoula the following weekend. The night before her party Grandma Deaette put together a wonderful cookie bake. Addi loves this tradition as much as Grandma does! We had a great time decorating and laughing. Dylan and I got into a small frosting fight! He still hasn't fully forgiven me, but I had fun! I will get the picture from Deaette, it is pretty hilarious. Mahkiah, Great Grandma Ella, Aunt Pam, and Kennedy joined us. We had a blast. Addi and Mahkiah ate their cookies as fast as they decorated them!
She picked a Disney Princess party. She also picked out a Princess ice cream cake with strawberry ice cream and vanilla cake. It was a small, intimate party, compared to last year. Addi is blessed to have three great-grandparents in her life; Grandpa Dave, Granny and Grandma Ella, were all there to celebrate with us. Papa, Grandma Bobbi and Grandpa Mark, Uncle Jack, Aunt Jessica, Aunt Jaci, Grandma and Grandpa Deaette, Aunt Shelly and Roz, Aunt Pam, Auntie Em, and Ember, Neil and Ella all joined us for cake and ice cream. It was wonderful. Addi loved opening her presents and her birthday cards meant just as much to her. She would take the time to open and read each one! She is so much fun to spoil with gifts because she truly appreciates each and every one. She says, "Oh, I just love it!" When we sang Happy Birthday to her and when she blew out her candles she needed Grandma Deaette to cuddle her. She got a little bashful.
After her party we packed up and went to Dave and Em's house for the night. We spent the evening watching Addi's new birthday movies and of course, eating!!
Loved seeing these bday pics!
