Addison's 3rd Birthday!


Addison had a Dora birthday party with her cousins and friends from church today.  It went really well and I think she had fun.  One of our family traditions is breakfast-in-bed so we did that today also since it's the only morning Steve is home.  This is a tradition my family did when I was growing up, except we always got crepes (which was wonderful! I love crepes!).  That was the special breakfast meal my mom made us. Maybe when the girls get a little older I'll start that :)  Be prepared, there's a lot of pictures.

This is the first year we gave Addison breakfast in bed and she loved it! She loved all the attention too. I said "I love you Addison" and she usually doesn't respond to that but today she said "I love you too, Mom. Thank you for my birfday." It melted my heart :)

She got flower shaped pancakes, apple juice (her fav!) and pears and strawberries.

Lexi looking on as Addison enjoys her breakfast. She's not amused lol

The birthday party pictures aren't in any order.


Everyone eating lunch. Thank you to all the older people who helped at the party! You were sooooo helpful :)

Steve's talent of making balloon animals and swords was a big hit. It always is.

The kids got violent with the balloon swords!  Good thing they were made out of balloons.




Thanks Court, for making the cute happy birthday sign!  It was a pinterest idea

Her first attempt at blowing out the candle. She has such a soft blow.

She had to stand up and add a little spit to blow it out :)

Thank you girls for all your help!  You were great!

Valentine's day continued

Our new valentine's day family tradition... Chocolate dipped strawberries! It was delicious! Last year only Steve and I did it so It was fun to do it with Addison this year. Since Steve was in NY on Valentine's day we did it today.
