Addison's 3rd Birthday!

Addison had her 3rd birthday party this past weekend and we had all sorts of family in town. It was great to see everyone, especially those from Dallas that made the trip. Addison woke up from her nap to see everyone she knows downstairs ready to shower her with attention. This made her a tad shy at first, but she soon got over that and started smiling and playing. The overall theme of the party was the movie "Cars" by Pixar and Disney, which Addison absolutely loves.



Addison had fun opening the gifts, although she tended to like playing with the tissue paper more than the actual unwrapping. Luckily, Kelly was there to help out.

Addison received many fun gifts and some much needed clothing. My sister gave Addison a "sit and spin" toy that you can see in the pictures below. This was a real hit with Addison right away.
Here is a quick movie of Addison using the Sit and Spin:

Next up at the party was the cake. The cars on top of it doubled as real toys, which was handy since Addison wanted to play with them.
Here is a movie of us singing "Happy Birthday" to her:

After a quick juice recharge in her new chair, Addison was ready to go crazy again. She had a great time driving her new truck through her Grandad and Uncle John's legs.


Overall the party went really well, and Addison was in a great mood. We are hoping to have some more activities outside for Kara's birthday in the summer. We may even make it a combo birthday/pool party!
