Addison turns 2!!

Addison's 2nd birthday was this past Saturday! I can't believe my baby is 2!! Anyway, my sister, Sarah, her kids Joseph and James( who we call Jack), my Dad and Karen and myself took Addison to the Pumpkin Patch on Saturday. Everyone had a blast... of course we were all exhausted, but we had a great time. As soon as we got there, James crashed into a fence... I was sure we were headed to the nearest hospital, but it was nothing a little time on the jumpy thing couldn't fix!!

 

While the boys jumped, Addison spotted some ponies and HAD to go on one. Turns out, there are not as much fun to ride as they are to look at!

After that, the kids rode the choo-choo train.

And by then, it was time for some lunch! While we were eating, there were these little girls putting on a dance recital, and it turns out it was Beverly's where Sarah and I took as little girls! How weird! Sarah was enjoying her frolick down memory lane! We had cupcakes for dessert and we sang Happy Birthday to Addison. She was a pro at blowing out the candles. 

We took a hay ride out to pick out our pumpkins and Addison couldn't decide which one she wanted... I think she touched every pumpkin in that patch!! 

 

After that, we were all pretty tired, so we left and the kids passed out on the way home. 

Dad and Karen came up and watched the Alabama/Ole Miss game at our house and we just lounged around the rest of the evening. John got home from the game(Of course he went!) just in time to put Addison to bed. Then on Sunday, we had her actual party. Of course, John and I woke up sick with sinus crud! Addison was asleep when the party started, and was a little shy at first due to all the people in her house. We started opening presents, and I would tell her who it was from and she would try to give it back to them!! HA!! She got the hang of it once she woke up. She got so many great gifts!!! 

After that, we sang Happy Birthday, and she blew out the candles two times. She fed everyone some cake, while all the guys got a football game going in the yard. Addison couldn't miss any of that!! She ended up playing football with her cousins and uncles.... we REALLY need more girls in the family! Good thing Claire will be here soon! Only Addison could wear a t-shirt, satin bloomers and Nike and pull it off nicely!

I think her 2nd birthday was awesome!! She enjoyed every minute of her special weekend! Thanks again to Dad and Karen for the fun trip to the Pumpkin Patch and to everyone who helped get the party ready and clean up!! It was GREATLY appreciated!!
