Happy 3rd Birthday Addison!

Yesterday we celebrated Addison's 3rd birthday! It's hard to believe she is already turning 3. It seems like just yesterday that we were welcoming her into our family. She is turning into such a beautiful young lady and I hope she knows how much we love her!

The birthday girl!

Addison had her birthday party at one of the local churches in Mansfield. The church has a neat play structure where the kids can run, climb, and slide in an air conditioned, enclosed area. The area is open to the public during the week and they rent it our for birthday parties on the weekends. There is also a kitchen area with lots of tables and chairs for guests to have cake and open presents. It's a perfect place to have a birthday party!
We started the party by letting the kids play on the playscape. After the kids played for a while, it was time for snacks and cake. Addison's birthday party theme was zoo animals, and my sister made her two really cute cakes- a giraffe and a tiger.

Blowing out her candlesParker was so attached to Addison during the entire party. He wanted to sit next to her, play with her, and even got upset when she wanted to play with someone else.

After cake, Addison opened her presents. She got so excited every time she opened something. It was like she had never opened something so wonderful!

We had such a great time celebrating with you, Addison! We love you and hope the upcoming year has wonderful things in store for you!
