Addison's First Birthday Party



Addison officially turned one on February 11, but we postponed her party for several reasons - not the least of which was my great uncle's 80th birthday party! So, this weekend we celebrated her birthday and had a great time!



At first, she wasn't too keen on the idea of *gasp* sitting by herself, as she's spoiled beyond rotten.


So, Daddy decided to hold her - at least initially - and let her check out her birthday cake.


Once it started getting really messy, Daddy gave up and put her back in her seat. By this time she was so involved in eating cake that she couldn't have cared less who was holding her!


Addison's cousins Chris and Clay gave her the Little People Farm. You can see that big sister Ainsley and cousin Sawyer were getting some play time out of it here before Addison took much notice.


Addison loves books and loves to be read to. Gram is taking advantage of some cuddle time with Addison - a rare commodity now that she's so mobile - and reading one of her new books to her.


Addison in the middle of wrapping paper and gift bag madness. Our very good family friend Dianne is always so sweet to the girls and gave Addison some great books that she already loves!


My sweet sister Lauren and her hubby Don have come to EVERY birthday party the girls have had so far. I'm still completely amazed that they come down from Dallas for this each time. It means so much to all of us that they make this effort, and it's great that the girls will get to know their aunt and uncle!
