The birthday girl in all her glory.

We had Addison's first birthday party yesterday. My daughter will be one year old in 3 days, oh how the time flies. We had a small family party, but if you know my family you know there is no such thing as small family gatherings. So, we stuffed about 20 adults, 5 little girls, and 2 babies into our not-so-large living room. It was full and loud and so much fun. Addie got lots of fun stuff, but loved the boxes the best. Paige had fun playing with all the other girls her with and we adults chatted and ate pizza, cake, and ice cream, all the necessities of a birthday party.


Paige got her report card and it was amazing. All E's and S+, which is the equivalent of A's as they don't start giving the standard letter grades until the 3rd grade. I'm pretty impressed with her talents myself, I always knew she was a smart girl. Well, except for when she was 3 and I thought she was color-blind, but that was simply because I am so impatient. Obviously, it turned out she wasn't and I think she's the smartest kid in her class.

All the girls taking a break from their playing to eat some cake and ice cream, Aaron gave them all as much sugar as he could before they went home, just to be sure that their parents got to enjoy the left over sugar Rush that he knew we would be enjoying. His theory was "they aren't sleeping here".

Addison after she ate her cake, her tongue was blue from the frosting. It was pretty darn cute. Her birthday is on the 3rd, she'll be one and her Grandpa Reller will be 81.
