Addison turns 4

We did something a little different this year.  We had Addison's birthday celebration/party while the big boys were at school.  Addison invited 3 of her best girlfriends over (and Parker, of course) for the day.  We made & decorated cupcakes, played and then went ice skating!

Jaelyn (cousin), Lily (neighbor buddy), Hannah (friend from preschool) and the birthday girl


Sprinkles!

Happiness/high on sugar.  Her hair had been curled the day before so it's looking a little crazy!  I had brushed it!

More sugar.  My camera is doing something funny with the color here... might be the camera-girl :)

Car full for ice skating!
Let me preface these pictures with this.... Heather & I were supposed to take the kids.  My mom was going to join us to help out.  She wasn't going to skate because she was VERY nervous about it.  She last did it when she was 17 yrs old and it wasn't a good experience.  Ashton got sick the morning of the trip so Heather couldn't go!  So, I ventured it with my mom who still had a worse fear for the ice than the kids did!  It was an adventure!!

4- 4 yr olds & a 5 year old!

In the end we decided to get them all these walkers.  They were running on the ice with these things!  It was easier for all of us!  Mom wished she had one :)

We had the ice to ourselves!  Which was a good thing b/c these kids were ALL over the place!

This was the day before her birthday.  Her actual birthday was at preschool with special cupcakes, gram picking them (Jackson & Addison) up from school and then we had a birthday dinner at Gram & Grandpa's house.  It was a special few days for Addison.  She feels SUPER big now!
