Addison's 6th Birthday

By Kerry -
Our biggest girl turned SIX this week! And what an awesome week it was. On her actual birthday, we took her out for dinner and she chose to go to the "peanut place" - where you get to throw peanut shells on the floor. It was a really nice evening shared with Nana and Papa. Addison LOVED it when they sang to her and gave a big YAHOOOOO!


And even though she turned SIX, she still loved waking up to big birthday balloons from Daddy.

This year, Addison decided she wanted to have a Tangled (Rapunzel) theme for her birthday. We invited six of her closest friends and had the party at our house.  Some were from kindergarten and some were from her old school.  And of course, Nana and Papa were there!


The girls decorated lanterns just like in the movie, painted sun-catchers and braided everyone's hair



And Addison had a pink and purple cake!





Overall, it was a SUPER fun day!!!

I just know it!!! Emerson was triple-dog-dared by some older 18 month old punk who told her that "everyone was doing it" and she'd be cool if she did it also. That must be why she decided to use the jungle gym at school and do a no-hands-flying-trapeze-triple-gainor that landed her face first into the cedar chunks. This girl gives me fits!!! The fact that she never cried and the preschool teacher didn't see it happen was just icing on the cake and classic Emme... you can't turn away from her for a millisecond! And just for the sake of documentation, this picture was taken a good three hours after it happened. You should have seen her poor face when I picked her up at 4:00!

Addison likes... no, LOVES to look at pictures these days. I guess for my generation it was tons of pictures in albums that were always so much fun. For her generation (I think they're still being called the millennials, but I'm not sure if she's too young to fit into that group), she points at my computer whenever she realizes it's around and asks to see pictures. Her favorite is looking at pictures of other babies. I like to show her pictures from another blog of a family in our area that has just had quintuplets ! She thinks they are the cutest and could look at the pictures forever! Yesterday, Addison snuggled up into my lap and asked to look at babies. I decided to pull up pictures of her from when she was a baby and ask her who all of the people were with her in the pictures. She knew most all of them, mostly because we talk about our family in different pictures quite a bit. Unfortunately, she just refused to believe that the man in a few of the pictures ...
