Happy Party Girl

We had Addi's 4th birthday party on Saturday February 19, 2011. We went to Hunter's party first for a Batman/Spider man bash. It was a great time and really got Addi in the spirit. She even took a little nap before her own party.

Jeremy did some pulled pork for the party and we had some other snack items for all the party goers to munch on.

Lots and lots of folks were able to come, even some little people. Here is Nevie all the way from San Diego. Well she has been here for a few months but she does officially live in San Diego so we will count it.

Addi has been in love with Rapunzel since the movie premiers came out so it took all of five seconds for her to decide what kind of party to have. I knew right away that I would make a tower cake for the party and had in my mind just how cool this would be. Well that came crumbling down at about 8 on Friday night. My lovely iced cake tower fell over in one solid cake piece. We had all four kids over and the look on their faces when it happened actually made it kind of entertaining. Jeremy quickly offered to go to the store (remember the part about all 4 kids being over) I redid the cake that night and iced it. We decided to go with a long tower cake laying down so we did not have any events on Saturday during the party.

Happy Birthday Addi!
It was very important to Addi Jo that we all sign to her, she reminded us about this for a week before her birthday. That is why it was so funny when everyone was singing to her that she actually got embarrassed. She hid below the table. I guess there is a first for everyone.
She did make a quick recovery so she could blow out the candles.

By far Addi's favorite part of her party was the present opening. I am still amazed at how many cool things she got and how in the week since the party she has actually played with so many.

All the kids gather around in the beginning to watch and see what is cool.


Even a little help so Addi can see the coolness quickly.



Look at all the people at her party.


Even Addi is surprised by some of her gifts.


Pretty soon some of the most excited ones get board and start playing with some gifts. Way to go boys!



Oh yeah, Barbie. I see this as a big up coming theme in life around here.




Happy Birthday Addi. So many people love you!!!
