Happy 3rd Birthday Addison!

Wow... has it really been three years? As all parents say... she's growing up too fast! I know I mentioned Addison's birthday in the last post but realized that it deserved it's own entry. Addison told me months ago she wanted a Max and Ruby party which of course is probably the only non licensed cartoon ever! So, I had to get creative and ebay became my friend! She got adorable Max and Ruby invitations, Edible Images on her cake and cupcakes, I colored some coloring pages to decorate the goody bags, and got little Max and Ruby stickers to stick on lollipops. I also made a 'Happy Birthday Addison' banner that I am very proud of! It was a gorgeous day! Well, it was crazy hot but what do you expect on July 25th in central Florida?! The girls wore matching dresses. I've updated the title with a picture of them before the party. After the party, the family came back to watch Addison open her gifts in the comfort of air conditioning and eat some left over Chick-fil-A. Yummy!!

We only had one tragedy that came well after all the guest had gone home. Later that night, we all went to a Sanford River Rats baseball game with Aunt Kim, Uncle Richie, and Haylee. We had a great time but upon returning home we found that Lexi had inched the cake off the counter and eaten 3 cupcakes and most of what remained of Addison's cake! Addison was so sad. It was awful. Although, it could have been a blessing in disguise because I would have eaten most of the leftovers!

Here are some of the pictures I managed to get. Enjoy!

My sign that you can barely see. Trust me, it was spectacular!

Addison spent most of her time on the playground. We did manage to get her out to the water after lunch.

"Is everyone singing to ME?!"

All tuckered out... I think ALL of us wished this is what we were doing!
