Addyson turns 5!

Addyson's last night before she turns 5...
Makes me a little bit sad...
Sleeping Beauty...

Dressed and ready for her big day...

And I don't have a good picture of the cake,
but her special request to Aunt Shaina was a "Heidi" cake.
(Heidi was my family's dog...)
Addyson still holds a special place in her little heart for Heidi,
 the dalmatian...
She was "put to rest" a couple of years ago...
Addyson tells us often how much she "misses Heidi"
and how she wants to go up to heaven to see her...

 

Mom and Dad; Sean and Toby; Shaina; Dane
 and Grandpa Pudge and Grandma Judy
were all able to come and celebrate Addyson's birthday.
Grandpa Pudge kept with tradition and gave Addyson two $2 bills.
 The girls wondered if he just didn't have time to shop for a gift;
 not understanding the "coolness" of the $2 bill...

Waiting patiently to open presents...

A kite from grandpa Smith...

A "color-your-own" bag from Uncle Sean..
.I LOVE Brooklyn's expression.

She's secretly hoping that Addyson will share...

Pajamas from mom and dad...and playdoh from Grandma Smith

And a few weeks later, Grandma Kathy came to visit

and took Addyson (and Brynley and Brooklyn) to Build-A-Bear store...

and, surprisingly...

ha!...

she picked a puppy.

Happy Birthday Addyson Liberty!

 We love you and all of your sillyness; craziness; crankiness and happiness.

 You make us so happy.
