Happy Birthday to Addison

I just uploaded all the videos from our camcorder today and wanted to put Addison's Happy Birthday Video on here.

Addison's 1st Birthday Party

For Addison's first birthday, I wanted to make everything. I made her invitations (see previous post). I made her birthday hat and birthday cake. The cake didn't turn out like I had hoped but that's okay, I'll practice more before next year.

Thank you everyone who came to celebrate with us. It was a great day, the rain held off almost all day so the kids got to swim.

Here are Mommy's creations

She was amazed at all the kids singing happy birthday.

And here are all the kids singing and waiting for the cake to be cut.

The end of the day - Addison crashed down on my legs and I snapped this shot

Some additional pictures

Here are some pictures from this past week - getting ready for Addison's big day.

One night I gave Addison a quick bath in the kitchen sink.

Jacob built his train tracks - he says "I build it"

Look close - you can see daddy sleeping on the couch

Addison with her tongue out as well

IT'S BEEN A YEAR....

ADDISON TURNED ONE on August 15th

I cant' believe it's been a year - where has the time gone. My baby girl was one this past friday.

Here is the birthday announcement & invitation I sent out.

Tutu photos

I wanted to get some pictures of Addison wearing her tutu for her birthday invitation but couldn't find the time. Finally, I got them - not the greatest - but here are some of the pictures

Addison's first tutu
