For Addilyns's birthday this year we decided to take a few of her friends to Build-a-Bear. It was SOOO much fun! It was great because I had to plan NOTHING. We went, we picked, we stuffed, and we left. We went back to our apartment with her little friends, did cake and presents, played for a while, and took everyone home. It was just a glorified play date. I am sold on this way of throwing birthday parties. And Build-a-Bear doesn't charge any extra for a birthday party. They just ask that you make 6 bears. Done. The kids had a blast and they each took home a decked out bear/dog/cat.
Addilyn with her rainbow-heart bear, complete with Cinderella outfit.
We brought Taeler along for the ride. Carter would have been bored to tears without a friend there and since Addi really only has two friends here... why not!? Plus, I love Tae like she's my own. I just might steal her.
Addilyn putting her little red heart (that she made a wish on) into her bear before it got stuffed.
The Build-a-Bear person that helped with the party, had them all rub their little hearts all over their bodies. Here they are rubbing it on their funny bones so that the bears will laugh at all their jokes. I seriously love Addilyn's face here. So funny. :)
Addilyn and Rylee picking out pretty pretty princess outfits for their bears.
Everyone who made a bear... that's right, Nona wanted one too. :)
Addi with her two little friends, Rylee and Brynlee.
Bryan mostly just chased Pres around the entire time... for which I will be forever grateful for. She will NOT hold still! (Unless Dora's on...)
Blowing out her candles at the end of her birthday party. What a wonderful day!

I can't believe she is so old! Choobie wants that Yoda hat...and I'm pretty sure Dan does too :) What a fun party!
Sweet birthday! Looks like so much fun! Addi is looking so much like a young girl..well, she is a young girl, but you know, definately leaving toddler/baby girl life behind, even though she hasn't been a toddler or baby for awhile. Anyway, it's late, you know what I mean... She's beautiful and such a wonderful little lady!
don't successful little birthday parties make you feel like the best mom ever? love it.
Holly would have been there in a heartbeat! :( Princess Addi is too darling!!
