Addie's Garden Party!

I am turning Three!
So come and celebrate with me!

We’ll plant a flower or two!
So bring your green thumbs too!

We’ll have some sweets and snacks!
It will be very laid-back!

Well....first of all let me say that I was too busy having fun at Addie's party to get any good pics....so these pics are not the best but here goes nothing!

Worm and dirt cupcakes.....They were super sweet but yummy!
The kids decorated their own garden pot with their names or flowers or butterflies or whatever they fancied.

Lisa and Addison (Addie). As you can tell....it is tough getting Addie to smile for a picture! Ha!

Then after they decorated their pot they planted some flowers to take home! You can't tell from the picture above but the kids really had a good time decorating their own flower pot!

In the goody bags the kids got a few garden themed things including a little wind chime and a watering can so they could water their flowers!


After the flower pots were decorated, everyone (the kids) pretty much played with every single toy in our house! I love how the girls got the princess shoes out. This is Addie walking away from the camera (too busy to pose for a picture) in her Cinderella shoes! Too cute.


McKenzie in the Snow White shoes! McKenzie is one of Addie's good friends at school. Love the jewelry Kenz!


Cole is a one man mariachi band!


We were so fortunate to have so many friends and family come to celebrate Addie's birthday! It made the day so memorable and special for both of us!

Angie and Taryn!


Addie and Addie (now smiling..yay!)


Madison, Addie and McKenna



The Three Musketeers! Emma, Addie and Kenz! These three get into a lot of trouble at school!


It is too bad Krista couldn't relax........


Chase!
Toni and Paige enjoying a dirt cupcake and a some juice!


YaYa and Addie!

Addie is really getting into the princess stories and outfits! I have tried to modernize the stories a bit....instead of just saying "happily ever after" I usually say "after (insert princess name here) graduates from college and gets her degree she comes back and marries her prince"! I mean let's face it.....happily ever after IS possible...but it takes a lot of work and there is nothing wrong with being independent either! Ha!

Addie got a jumpy house for her birthday and it was a hit at the party! Here is Taryn showing off her pretty smile!







The jumpy house was a little wild.....but fun!

These next few pictures show the progression of Addie's room going from clean......to not so clean! This is what too much sugar can do to a couple of three year olds!




I love Addie's hair in this picture! This picture was taken near the end of the party and Addie was obviously exhausted! The hair shows it all!

Addie with her cousin Rebekah! They drove over 2 hours to come to the party! Thank you soo much!


Some of my family on my dad's side! Mom, Dad, Grandmama, Susan, Addie, Me, Philip, Rebekah and April!

Well besides the fact that I forgot to hand out icecream (and ended up having 48 individual cups of Blue Bell in my freezer after everyone left) the party was Wild and Wonderful! A Huge Success!
