Happy 3rd Birthday Addie

Happy Birthday Addison!! On Tuesday it was her 3rd birthday and we decided we would have a little party for her with some of the girls from nursery. With Addison's help we finally decided on a fishing birthday party. She really wanted rubber boots for a cake, and then we made little ocean cupcakes with a whale jumping in the water and a beach with an umbrella on the other side. She really loved it....even though one boot was a little wonky.





On the invitations we asked that all the girls wear their bathing suits as we were going fishing.
First thing Tuesday morning Addie walked down to the living room where her new bike was waiting for her. She LOVED it and has been asking for a bike for about a year.
Who doesn't love balloons. Devin was a really good boy at the party. It helped a lot too that Justin was home to help out.

So when the girls first got here we played with baloons for awhile until everyone arrived and then we had some yummy snacks; veggie bars, jello jigglers, pineappe and watermelon, jubjubes and of course fishy crackers and juice.

The kids needed a break from sitting so they all got down and played a bit again and then we got them back to the table to do a craft. They decorated sailor hats with little mermaid stickers and ocean foam stickers and markers. They all got pretty into it and the hats looked beautiful. Then it was finally time to go fishing.
Justin made all the rods with the little girls initials engraved into the bottom so they were all unique and hopefully a nice little keepsake. They loved fishing.
So after that we opened presents and then fished again and everyone had a cupcake. Then the party was over. I was totally stressed and was worried how it was going to go, but it ended up being a lot of fun. Addie felt so special and it was a great little group of girls.



After the party Addie opened a few more presents from us and then Daddy had to go to work. We spent the rest of the day playing with presents and Addie had her new favorite supper of club quesedillas. Then we had Addies Aunties and Uncles over for cake after supper. It was a full and fun day. Thanks to everyone who sent presents or cards and called Addie. She really had a special day.
The dress up clothes were a total hit..thanks grandma P. My favorite moment of the day was I heard Addie upstairs singing happy birthday to herself. When I peeked in her room she was checking Benny's teeth. maybe we have a future hygeinist in the family.

What a pretty princess. We love you Addie!!
