Our sweet Addie is six! Six sounds so old . . . Keri and I can't believe how quickly the past 6 years have gone by. Addie is becoming a young lady now. She is growing and changing everyday it seems. I'm so proud of her kind heart, friendly nature, generous spirit, hard working attitude, and how much she loves life.
For Addie's birthday this year we kept it really sweet and simple. The night before her birthday we met Cody, Ashley, Rylan, and Hudson at The Villages of Fairview. We ate a great dinner, then hit the sandy beach and spray park area.
Keri had to work all day on Addie's birthday, but he had a special present wrapped and waiting when Addie woke up. She had been wanting a pillow pet for so long and was thrilled to find a cute ladybug pillow pet from Daddy!
We walked to a neighborhood pool to meet some friends for a few hours of swimming. I made cupcakes and brought some lemonade and we sat right on the ground and sang Happy Birthday to Addie. My friend Jennifer and I stood and watched these sweet kiddos and decided this was the way to go for birthdays. Simple, sweet, no stress, no excess gifts, no worries and a happy birthday girl. Sometimes its fun to have a big party, but I love that our kids are happy with homemade cupcakes and a few friends. Simple.
Happy 6th birthday to our sweet Addie!
