May I have this dance?

Addy and Gavin did some dancing at the wedding we went to a couple of weeks ago. I know I am biased, but this is the cutest video ever!!




Addy told me after the wedding that she loves to dance with Bobo. :)

Boo!

This was a great $1 purchase at JoAnn's. Addy colored it and has been running around with it for days. She loves to scare everyone who comes over.

On 10.10.10 Addy and I got to go to our friend Amber's wedding. It was beautiful! So well thought out and planned. They put in so much work on it this last year and each loving detail showed. I was so happy for Amber and Paul. We wish them many years to come of laughter and joy.

Addy and I got all dressed up!

Our whole work family was there. Joni and Scott:


How cute is Mason here? The kiddos were so good during the ceremony.

Hanging out at the reception.

Gavin and Addy dancing. I need to load up some video I got . . . absolutely priceless!!

The beautiful bride visiting with us! Little Owen has quite taken with her dress. He was desperate to get his hands on it.

During the reception Savannah and Addy played Dora out on the porch.

This isn't the first time these two have played together at a wedding . . . back in July 2007 at Samantha's wedding:

How big our little girls are now!

It was a wonderful day, thanks Amber and Paul for letting us be a part of your special day!!

Birthday Celebrations

We celebrated Addy's big day with a couple of celebrations. My parents helped me throw Addy a little party on her actual birthday since Scott was out of town. And then last weekend we had her birthday party!

It was a princess tea party - and boy were those girls cute in their princess costumes. :) We had a house full of little princesses.

Here is a little slide show of her actual birthday and her party.

(And yes, those Dora cupcakes were even brighter in person then in the picture - I got this new food coloring that rocks!!)

Thanks to so many of you for coming and sharing in our special celebrations!!!

Happy 4th Birthday Addison!!!

4 years ago this very night I was getting ready for bed. I was waking up at 5am to go have a baby the next morning. I was nervous and scared not having any idea what to expect, but knowing life would never be the same. I remember laying in bed and holding Scott's hand, a little teary about the unknown.

Oh the joy of these last 4 years. Addy's laughter, tears, hugs, kisses, silly dances, her little sayings, singing a song . . . a blessing I can never be thankful enough for. :)









In many ways this year has been a year of struggle, difficulty and tests. But as I sit here I realize that in so many ways, thanks in large part to this little angel, we have had a year of joy, adventure and love. Thank you Addy for a wonderful year!! May your birthday be grand and your next year filled with more love and adventure!!
