Happy Birthday Addie!!!!! (nearly a month late)

Maybe I am in denial of my little honey turning 4...

I didn't do the years in review, so I will try to add some pics of the last year pretty soon, and post it. It has just been so busy around here!

Addie wanted a big birthday party with strawberry cake with strawberries on it. She was very adamant about it. Here she is while we sang "Happy Birthday" She was being sorta shy :)



Blowing them all out!


Birthday Girl!


Evie had fun too, Lucas pushed her around in the doll stroller.


She wasn't very happy when nobody was pushing her.


As usual, a failed family picture.... at least Joel and I look cute, right?



Addie got bubbles and wands for her birthday... she LOVED them. She had to use each one.



Her favorite part was immediately popping the bubbles.


She kept getting the bubble solution on her lips. Yuck!



Addie also wanted lots and lots of balloons for her party. Luckily we found a store where they were cheap enough. She loved it. Here she is trying to grab them all.





I got them all in a bunch for her to hold, can you see her? haha!

Catching up: Part 1 of 13 :: Evie's Baptism/Addie's Birthday Party

I have a lot of blogging to catch up on, and I don't want to post them all at once (because I notice I get less comments when I post more than one at a time)

I am going to back date and post one every couple of days.

We opted to baptize Evie a little late, on the day after Addie's birthday so we could do the parties together. Living at my mom's house, we didn't want to do too much.

Here is Evie with my grandma, who her middle name is after.


Addie blowing out her birthday candles.... aka "the fires"



She did so good :)



She loves cake... er... frosting.


Ever since her birthday she has been talking about blowing out fires and parties


Evie with my other grandma... she was tired by the time we got to this picture :(



We got her fed, and she was much happier (or not as crabby, however you want to look at it)



Addie loves her sister.



She especially loves making her have a fish face.








Trying to do a family picture... I think I look drunk or something... Addie is OBSESSED with putting her hands on top of Evie's head.



Opa and Oma with Evie



Evie with Joel's parents.



With my parents... my dad is actually SMILING, so I had to post this.



A day of amazement, he is HOLDING a BABY!!!!!!!!!!!! She was pretty happy about it anyway :)

Happy Birthday Sweet Adelaine!

A Few (okay, a lot!) of my favorite pictures of Addie over the past 3 years.

This isn't really a favorite, but more of a sentimental picture. Addie on her birthday... this was the picture that the NICU sent up to me because I couldn't visit her


It's so much work "laying out"





Unicorn head! Apparently Addie's best IV veins were in her head.


Tiny bun.


Ready to go home!























































That's all folks :) We love you Addie!
