This year Addyson got to have several different birthday celebrations. She got to go birthday shopping with Grandma B. all by herself...which she loved!! She also got to pick out her birthday dinner while Grandma B. & Great Grandma W. were in town visiting...and much to Cayden's delight picked Chuck E. Cheese. We all had so much fun there. Then there was of course donuts for breakfast on the official day of her birthday. The kids got quite a kick out of the fact that Addyson was born on April Fool's Day...they were playing pranks on Mommy in the car. Then a trip to Applebee's for lunch with Grandma & Grandpa Dykstra. And finally the celebrations ended this past Saturday with her official party. We all headed over to Playworld, along with friends Grace & Ellie & my family, for a couple hours of play. The kids all had such a great time running around!! Then we headed back to our house for dinner, birthday cake, & presents.
Addyson actually requested this year that we not sing Happy Birthday to her. When we asked her why she replied that it makes her feel shy. She definitely does not like to be the center of everyone's attention. Hindsight...in past years when we brought the cake out and sang Happy Birthday she always clung to us and didn't want anyone to look at her. This year it went so much better b/c she wan't at all self conscious...I'm so glad that we know this information now!!
The attraction of the party was actually the cute little kittens that all the kids had to take turns passing around. I will post later about these adorable little kittens that were part of our family for a very short time.
Well...on with a couple pictures of our birthday girl! I hope to send more later of all her celebrations through Kodak.
Happy Birthday baby girl!!
