Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Continuing with the catch-up!  Dan celebrated his birthday last Sunday...he has now caught up with me! :)
The picture above is the best picture we were able to capture of the two.  Let's just say that Miss Addie was not the most cooperative child that night!

Addie got Daddy balloons for his birthday.  She loves balloons and most certainly thought that daddy would too!  I mean, who wouldn't love a Rapunzel balloon from Addison?!!

Addie also helped put ALL 26 candles on daddy's cake...moved them around about 100 times...AND ate some of the cool whip!  "I'm a good helper, Mom!" she says!

Helping daddy blow out his candles!!

Happy Birthday to a VERY special person!  We love you VERY much, Daddy!

Thanksgiving 2011

...a little belated!  I have really been behind on posts, but attempting to catch up tonight!  

We had a quiet Thanksgiving with each of our families.  Addie did well at all of them and ate like a little pro!

Playing games...Addie REALLY wanted to help, but you can imagine what would have happened!

It is amazing how much Addie grows from year to year!  

We hope everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving holiday!

our four-eyed cutie...

You know those times in parenting when you know what you are doing, you really shouldn't do...BUT it is pretty funny, so you do it anyway?!!.... 

Like Addie wearing Daddy's glasses, which is probably NOT good for her eyes.

BUT it was SO darn funny!

Dan told Addie that it wasn't going to hurt her eyes because she was going to have to wear them when she was older anyway.  Especially with BOTH mommy and daddy needing glasses.

It was funny when Addie put them on and tried to walk.  She said "Addie can't see.  Can't walk with these, Daddy!"  So, it may not have been our best moments as parents, but it brought some laughs to us tonight.  How can you not laugh at that?!!

Pure entertainment...

Addison is typically a shy little girl, BUT put her in front of a crowd that thinks she's silly...

...AND you get a little goofball!

so dramatic...

I just love the way she makes us laugh.  You never quite know what she will do next!  She brings such joy to our lives!  We love you, Addie girl!

On another note...  It was my birthday on Monday!!  I hate that going back to work meant being away from my little Addie, but it is nice to have such wonderful co-workers!!  I walked in to my desk full of cupcakes and presents, AND Dan took me out for supper that night!  Great birthday, minus the fact that I am now on the downward slope to 30!  26 feels SO OLD.......

Dancing Queen...

Addie loved dancing in her dress last night.  In fact we could not get her off the dance floor!

She loved the lights.

Dancing with Jenna...

 

Our little cutie!!

Look at those dance moves!

This was her look when they stopped the music for the dollar dance.  Although, that did NOT stop Addie!  She kept dancing in the background!

Dancing with Grandma...

 ...and Daddy!

We had such a wonderful time!  Always good to spend time with family.
