Addison is 7!

I really don't know how in the world it has been seven years since Addison was born.  She had a pretty awesome surprise....Nana and Papa were waiting for her at the bus stop when she got home...a day before her birthday!  She saw them from the bus window and as she said it "I was the first person off after the kindergartners."  That was a pretty big deal!  I love how excited by kids get to see people they love!  It truly is the people, not things, that make them happy.  We had a great time celebrating the entire week.  Nana and Papa got to have lunch with Addi on her day at school, we went out to dinner, went apple picking on the weekend!  It was a lot of fun family time!

Addison wanted to have her little friends party at the horse show later in October so that is what we will do.

It is impossible to have too many candles on your birthday!! 

French toast will hold candles just fine!

one excited birthday girl!  

 Topping the list of gifts was an American Girl Doll, a bed for her, a notebook and clipboard picked out by Landon, ands the favorite gift...a new pair of high heel boots from Grandma and Grandpa!!

 I love my happy kids that love the Nana and Papa so much!  

I love that my Mom and Dad are so willing to travel the world to see us!  

 More candles!!!

Addison is a sweet, kind, chatty little girl. She loves people and is the official greeting committee of the neighborhood!  She is quite and inquisitive little girl with "Hey Mom, I have a question...." being said a hundred times a day.  She is a great big sister too!! She sets a great example and includes her little brother in most things!  Right now she LOVES horses.  She talks about them, writes about them, draws them and I am sure dreams about them!  She is always drawing or writing stories and never ever leaves home without a notebook and several writing instruments!  She is learning so much at school!  She has a great teacher and loves school.  She talks about how many books Mrs. Prosser reads to them.  Addison is just a happy-go-lucky caring little girl.  I am so fortunate to call her my daughter!
