Above are the pink flamingos that greeted all the guests on their way to the door. Below are the pictures that my sister had enlarged.
Above is sleepy Addison outside with her (Great) Aunt Nita. Below we have Addison helping her Grandmother open presents and cards.
The above picture and two below are of Addison playing with Ellie, who is almost two years old. Addison would throw the chalk around(sometimes breaking it) and she attempted to draw with it. Ellie was still getting used to the concept of sharing and didn't always like it when Addison was using her toys.
They had an inflatable pool at the gathering for the kids to play in as you can see below. Addison took to it right away.
Here are Addison and Ellie having a good time in the pool splashing about.
Luke, a 17 month old boy, was also at the gathering. He enjoyed the pool from the outside. He liked playing with the toys and water, but didn't want to commit to going in the pool.
Here we see Luke getting upset when a toy gets out of his reach. On the topic of behavior, I found it amusing that Addison(the youngest) was the best behaved of all the children. She did a good job of socializing with the other kids, and she only got upset later on due to not taking a nap all day. Luke in particular was a holy terror. He always ran at breakneck speed until he would crash into something. He also had a bad habit of jumping onto and off of the fireplace, smacking the television with both hands, and knocking over anything within his reach. Even worse, he would repeatedly push down and forcibly take things from the other kids. He ripped Addison's pacifier out of her mouth, which freaked her out. He also pushed her down trying to get the pacifier a second time which resulted in her hitting her head on the tile floor in the house. I understand that kids are nuts at times, but I was going to have some "kind words" with his parents if they hadn't left immediately after Addison was hurt. Needless to say, I will be watching out for Luke the brute at this event next year.
Above you can see her playing with her sandcastle shovel. She loves to smack the water with it, drink water out of it, and hit the bouncy ball with it.
Ok, from the left is Johnny, Frank, Aunt Barbara, Uncle John, and Johnny's girlfriend.
Addison was a big fan of walking around on the grass with some assistance as you can see below. Natalie was fascinated with Addison, and Addison liked having the extra company.
Addison was quite fond of Natalie, and she liked playing with her and some toys in the grass.
Natalie wanted to help walk Addison around the back yard so we did a few laps.
As you can see in the pictures below, the frozen popsicles were a big hit. Addison wasn't sure what to make of it at first, but she really liked it after having some.
In the above picture she is about to charge the pile of leaves and pines needles near Kelly.
He she is in the act of ramming the pile.
Kelly's grandparents on her mother's side gave Addison a child's laptop that has word and math games on it. While she is still a litttle young to reap the full benefits of it, she still enjoys slapping the keyboard and open/closing the lid.
In the above picture she is trying to escape her play area.
Here she is scooting across the carpet.
Above is a picture of the fan in the room that she likes to look at sometimes. 
This is her Dora the Explorer chair that Kelly's mom gave her. She like to sit in it like this and slap the back of it.
Here she is posing for the camera.
