Here's a picture of the cute cake...Addison really liked it and knew right who it was!
Mimi and Papa helped to host the party!
Aunt Lyndsey (Lulu) and Uncle Joseph (Jojo) were there to help celebrate!
So were Gama and Gapa...
G-Pa, Grammy & Courtney came by a few days before her party to say hello while we were in town...
Daddy helped her blow out the candles (Addison couldn't quite do it...she kept spitting). :)
Now for the presents...she loved this book from Gama and Gapa
And couldn't believe it when the book started to talk to her!
She loves to kiss and hug her babies and put them down for "night-night." She covers them with a blanket, pats it really good, then gives it a hug and kiss.
She really wanted to help clean up after the party and was very into sweeping the floors with Mimi's electric swivel sweeper. Such a big helper!
After her party, daddy took her down to the pond to feed the ducks. She loved it and did a pretty good job throwing the bread to the ducks!
We had a wonderful time in Alabama! It was great to see everyone, as always, and definitely worth the trip home for Addison's big day! She did pretty good on the plane ride down to Alabama (it was morning, with short connections)...but the way back was AWFUL!! She screamed and cried all through the last leg of the trip back to Roanoke. Jonathan and I felt so helpless because NOTHING we did made her happy....we were that family with the screaming baby. We determined that she was just so tired, but not interested in sleep at all. She did finally go to sleep with about 5 minutes left of the plan ride...but at least it was 5 minutes of some peace for us and everyone else on the plane. At least next time she will have her own seat because she can't fly free anymore. :(
