Christer & Cat

Last week was a whole week of Birthday celebrations for Addison. On Tuesday I made her some birthday waffles for breakfast. We played all day and took some birthday pictures. We went to grandma’s for her birthday dinner and had chicken rolls. We also had some yummy cake! Grandma and Grandpa had some great gifts for the birthday girl. She got a baby doll, some books, and a cute blue jacket. She absolutely LOVES the doll and calls her “baby” – of course she says it more like “bay-yeey.”

On Saturday we had a party with all of her cousins and friends. It was a whole lot of fun! (Thank you grandma and Mari for showing up early and helping me!) We played with bubbles, had pizza and cake and even a pinata! Adan broke it and Jake was the first to get to the candy- it was a lot of fun! Of course the best part was when Addison got to open her presents. She LOVES Tinkerbell and her aunts got her just that. It’s funny to watch her now when we ask her where Tinkerbell is. Before, she just had the one that was on her chair- but now she has that one, plus a doll and a pillow with Tinkerbell.

I love my little Monkey and I’m so grateful to have her in my life. Compare these photos- one month vs. one year
