Addison's Birthday Party

Today we celebrated Addison's 7th birthday with a fun, laid back party at our house.  Since Addison hasn't made a lot of friends at her new school yet, she wanted to come back to Cleburne and have a party with all of the sweet girls she met in kindergarten.  She had originally planned on having a swimming party at Granna's house, but after the weatherman predicted a cold front earlier this week. my sister quickly turned to Plan B- she rented a bounce house and moved it my backyard. 

Silly cousins!  This was the best picture we could get out of six very excited kids!

The girls played in the bounce house as everyone arrived and then Addison opened her presents.  It is always so funny to me to see the difference between girls and boys.  All nine of the girls sat quietly and watched as Addison open all of her gifts.  They hardly made a peep and never crowded Addison or got in front of anyone else.  I guarantee it would not have been that quiet if that had been Parker and nine of his friends!!

 

After presents, Addison blew out the candles on her Hello Kitty cake.  The weather was so nice that we were able to send all of the girls outside to eat their cake and ice cream, which meant very few crumbs fell on my kitchen floor!  It was a win-win, for sure!

These girls are all so sweet!  Addison sure was lucky to have all of them in her kindergarten class last year.  I know she misses them terribly and I am so glad they were all able to come celebrate her birthday with her. Happy 7th Birthday, Addison!  We love you so much!
