Addison is 1

Addison officially turned 1 on Monday, I can't believe it. She is such a big girl! We had a party for her this past Sunday. We just invited family and a few close friends. We had a cupcake theme and made everything pink and girly...needless to say I had fun planning the party! :) However, I NEVER want to see another cupcake again!! I literally baked in the kitchen from 11am-5pm on Saturday, and lots of thanks goes to my sweet sister in law for helping! I made two different kinds of cucpcakes, a giant cupcake cake, and cupcake pops...crazy! 

Addison had a blast at the party. She was running around with her cousins the whole time! Everything was pretty laid back and I think my favorite part of the whole afternoon was just sitting out in the backyard watching her play, and getting to chat with friends. Addison got quite a few gifts, but her attention span ran out after opening about two of them!...So I ended up doing most of the unwrapping. Also, I wasn't really sure if she would like the cupcakes...she hadn't seemed to be very excited about sweets, but she really got into it and was smashing them in her face and hamming it up for the camera big time! Joey and I feel so blessed to have such a precious sweet girl and wonderful friends to help us celebrate. Here are some pictures from that afternoon...

I made her Birthday banner...It's amazing what a little scissors, glue, and ribbon can do!

Thanks Katie for the inspiration!

The cupcakes!
