I really can not believe that Addison is F-I-V-E years old. She is of course more than happy to tell anyone that she is five. I am just not sure where the time has gone. I think we could take a pause now for a couple of years anyway. I want to fight off 13 for as long as possible.
I hope that Addison had a wonderful birthday. I tried to add some fun little touches....I hung streamers from her door...top to bottom. I thought it would be a fun way to wake up. Well, I surely thought wrong! She woke up completely freaked out. At 6:30 I hear "Mom what is in my door?" I told her that it was just paper and she could walk through it. A little while later she was at the side of my bed. I explained to her that it was just a decoration to wish her a happy birthday. She was okay with it then but wasn't quite sure. After a few minutes though she was ready to go downstairs to see what else was in store. There were balloons and a message on the mirror in her bathroom. All that was fine!
She got pancakes with whip cream and sprinkles and for lunch McDonalds and Face-time with Daddy! It is so amazing that she got to kinda spend her birthday with Daddy! He at least got to be there while she opened her presents. The one present that we gave her was a bottle of sand, a plane and a picture of Daddy....we then explained to her that she was going to take a trip in 12 days to go and see Daddy in VA Beach. I think she gets it...she just doesn't get excited. So her reaction was what we both expected...just calm and taking it all in. Later when Brianna stopped she told her all about it! Addi just doesn't get too excited about anything. I know that as the time gets closer that she will be more excited and especially when she sees her Daddy!!
Tonight she had her birthday party with some school friends and of course her BFF Sophia!! It was a princess party and it was fun! A little more drama than I was expecting from a five year old party but it was good. Addi dressed up in her new dress up dress and I think felt like a princess!

Addison is such a sweet, sincere, thoughtful little girl. She shocks me with her compassion and understanding of others. Even with this deployment she is aware that Bill, as well as our family, is making a sacrifice for our country. I am just so proud of her. I feel so lucky to be her mom!!
