Happy Actual Birthday!


Addilyn's Birthday is on May 31st. She turned FOUR! I cannot begin to list all of the great things about this little girl. She is a light in our lives for sure. She has the most adorable personality. If ever she gets in trouble, she cries and hugs you. It's not an annoying cry. She cries out of sincerity. She is so sad that she did something wrong. She also has the cutest facial expressions. She rolls her eyes, furrows her brow... all kinds of cute little things. She will show up in our room at 3am asking if she can "snuggle wis you." While it was hard at first, we do tell her know... bad habit to get into. (Plus her hair is everywhere so it always tickles our face.) She looks out for Carter. Sometimes she'll bring him a garbage can "just in case you need to throw up." She is the eternal hugger and kisser. Sh
e always tells us that she loves us more than we love her (not possible). She loves to kid around. She lives in bathing suits and princess dress ups.
Here are some of her current favorites:
Favorite movie: Ariel 2 (she's never even seen that one)
Favorite Princess: Snow White and Ariel
Favorite Color: Pink (giggle... "Hot Pink!")
Favorite Show: Dora
Favorite food: Lucky Charms
Favorite animal: Giraffe
Favorite activity: Color

When she woke u[p the morning of her birthday we had some cute princess balloons for her. We also covered the floor in pink balloons. She loved it.
Addilyn with all her presents... spoiled little thing!


Carter got a pink Leapster from Chemo (in a gift bag). Since he has his DS he decided to wrap it up and give it to Addilyn for her birthday. Thanks to some donated games the Ladies have outgrown, she has games and her "big" present... all without us spending a dime!
Super cute boots from us. (Gotta say, I love living in boot-climate. :))
Ripping through the loot from Grammie and Grandad. It was everything Tangled... including the dress. I think she has taken the dress off once since getting it. :) It was a massive hit.
Pretty new duds.
I've had these shoes sitting in my closet for months! I was so excited to finally give them to her and even more excited that she loves them.
Her card from Gigi. :) This little girl is SOOOOO excited to go buy whatever she wants from the store with her money.
Addilyn adores Carter's camera so Nona and Papa got her the same camera... but pink, of course!
The Princess cake she picked out... It's only been 10 minutes since we opened the presents and the Tangled dress is already on. :)

We love this little munchkin and our family would be SO incomplete without her. Heavenly Father did us a major service by letting us be the ones to raise her. She's such a wonderful easy child. I just wish I could freeze time.
