Yippee, Yippee Addison Grace is 3!!



Our baby girl turned three years old this past Tuesday! It is so hard for me to believe that my little girl is already three years old. Time is just flying by too quickly for me! We had a great party last Sunday afternoon, complete with lots of princesses. Addison Grace is a complete and total joy!! She is the sweetest most loving little girl who is full of hugs and kisses. She always blows kisses when saying good bye and tells me ALL the time how much she loves me! She gets so excited over the simplest things and has the BEST little language all her own! We love her so much and know our family would not be complete without her.
Below is a picture from each of her birthday parties.....

Addison at her very first birthday party! Not even walking yet!

What a big girl at 3 years old! She loves parties and princesses, especially Cinderella!


On Friday before the party we went ahead and started decorating for Sunday's party because on Saturday we were going to be gone to Kaori's first birthday party. Addi was so excited to see all the decorations go up and even helped decorate. Here are some pics of "Addison's 3rd Princess Birthday Ball"!





Here is Addison's Couture Princess Birthday Hat custom made by "Three Pine Design" :)



After completing most of Addi's decorating, we headed to Aunt Samantha and Uncle Dave's house for Kaori's first birthday party. It was a lot of fun and the weather was great! Kaori was so happy, as usual, and looked perfect in her party dress! All the cousins had fun playing with her new toys and playing outside! It was a great day!






Some outside fun!







Addi being silly before her party!!


Addison's princess birthday cake. It did not turn out exactly as I had imagined, but what ever does! Addi could tell what is was though, so that is all that mattered. Just FYI, the cake was Ryan's idea. She let me use her pumpkin cake pan mold for the carriage and I put the carriage on top of a sheet cake. It was super heavy!



Addi getting pretty excited before her party started! She was running around and trying to jump up and hit the pinata. The pinata was hilarious to watch all the kids try and hit it. Landon was hitting it hard this year. He has improved in his pinata skills so much compared to last year :)



Mary Paul was loving the tire swing!! She looked so tiny on the big swing!



All the kids decorated crowns to put on their refrigerator. Even Uncle Dave helped Kaori decorate since Aunt Samantha could not be there. What a dad!!



Me and my birthday girl!!


Addi getting busy opening gifts!





Addi waiting for her cake and seeing it come. This was also the first year that she blew all the candles out all by herself. She loved playing with the Cinderalla figurines on top.




She must have sat and played with the character figurines for at least 30 minutes. These are such her play faces!



Opening mom and dad's card before heading outside for one more present!!


Addi got a new "pink" car!!!




Landon giving Mary Paul a ride in his truck!


Addi enjoying her new car!




Mike showing Addi what her car can really do!!! Leave it to Daddy to make it more dangerous!



Addi also likes to scooter and is actually pretty good!


Kaori taking one of her first tricycle rides! G-Mama making it a wild ride!!


Kaori and Landon taking a driving break!! Notice Landon in the pink car, even though it was pink he could not wait to drive it!!


Mary Paul taking a turn on the tricycle too!!


Not only was Sunday Addi's party, but it was the first day Landon started playing video games. We just got PS3 and had a really cool driving game. I think he is hooked and it is really hilarious to watch him play. He just LOVES to crash and wreck!!


Addi relaxing with her little figurines after a long and busy birthday day!! Does she know how to relax or what??

What a great post. Happy Birthday to Addi. I, once again, am late on sending a card. I'm not doing a very good job on this birthday thing now that I'm working again. Please forgive me. Addison looks beautiful in all of her birthday pictures. I'm so glad that she enjoyed her special day! Love to you all.
