I cannot believe my first born is already 5 years old...time has flown by. We are so lucky to have such a sweet, loving, fun, adorable, wonderful girl in our family...our lives would not be the same without her.
On her birthday morning, she wanted to open her presents. We gave her a James Avery charm bracelet, a few charms, and some clothes.
Since I took the day off on her birthday, we decided to have a donut birthday party at her school instead of the traditional cupcakes in the afternoon. The kids all loved that idea!
She was excited about her two tier donut with 5 candles on the top.
Her friends all made her a Happy Birthday sign!
Kevin was able to take the afternoon off and we asked what special activity she wanted to do with us. She chose ice skating! This was her first time and she had a great time. All of us were laughing so hard at the beginning because of how uncoordinated we all looked. Addi was slipping around and we were trying not to fall with her. It was not easy getting used to the ice and holding onto a 40 lb girl that was all over the place!
By the end, she had improved a lot. She was able to skate with only one of us holding her hands. And for a very short distance, she would skate by herself. We had a great time and I have a feeling someone will want to do it again soon!
We also let her choose where we should go for dinner. She chose Chuck E. Cheese! Who knew that place was so busy on a Tuesday night in December??? Cooper and Addison both loved it and could have stayed there all night. But, Addi didn't want anything to do with Chuck E. Cheese...when she saw him come out, she hid under the table! Cooper wanted to give him high fives...one of the many differences of the kids!
HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE GIRL!
WE LOVE YOU AS HIGH AS THE SKY AND DEEP AS THE OCEAN!
We look forward to your birthday party with friends and family this weekend!
