Happy 5th Birthday

The day FINALLY came. Addison had been waiting 6+ months for this big day. FINALLY she was turning 5 years old! She told me "I'm a whole hand". She was probably the most excited about her '5' balloon :) 

This is her excited face - ha! We used the same decorations as last year and the hat from school. She's so easy :) We made funfetti waffles for a special birthday treat. She was going to school that day and took cookies with sprinkles for the little school and Rice Krispie treats with M&M's for the big school. They sang to her at both schools and then she went to swimming lessons that night. She told her swim teacher it was her birthday and then they had the whole pool stop lessons and sing to her. She thought that was so cool!! We have been going to lessons almost 4 months and I've never seen them do that for anyone else! 

Birthday picture before she went to school. She was wearing her rainbow shirt and rainbow pants, she had this outfit picked out for days. And she wore her "birthday shoes". So these are shoes that we picked up at a garage sale and they are pink & purple tennis shoes. Perfect for school. We had gotten them out of the tub earlier in the week and planned to wear them on her big day. Two months later, they are still called "my birthday shoes". And she announces to everyone when she wears them (teachers, coaches, store clerks, etc).
