Addy turns 9!





I can't believe that Addy is 9. It really seems like yesterday that I was at the hospital being handed a new little bundle. Addy has grown up to be such a sweet, beautiful girl. She is nice to every one around her and has lots of friends. She is thoughtful and helpful and just a great kid. I am so happy to be her mom and to have her in our family.
Addy had a friend party the day before her birthday. She wanted a spa party. She planned everything including the games, food and activities. She and her friends had a fancy lunch with sandwiches, chips and fruit and fresh lime drinks with cherries and lime slices in their glasses. The girls thought that was pretty cool. After lunch my sister and I gave the girls manicures and painted their nails. The girls loved picking out their nail polish colors and soaking their fingers in warm water. Then they decorated cupcakes, once again, a pound of sprinkles makes a cupcake fancy. Then it was time for presents. Addy had a great time and so did her friends. It was a success! I couldn't have done it without my sister Camille and Ben. Ben took Sydnee and Maren out on a special date to keep them busy. Sunday was Addy's actual birthday. We celebrated with dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Williams house. She asked for a giant cupcake for her birthday cake. Addy always seems to stretch her birthday out for days. She went shopping for her birthday and out to dinner with my parents a few days before, then she had her party, then dinner on her birthday and the next day I took her shopping to pick out a present. Then the next weekend Grandma and Grandpa Yancey took all the kids out for dinner to celebrate. I don't know how she does it every year, but somehow she does. No one else seems to be able to stretch their birthday out as much. Happy birthday to my grown up girl!
