Addison's 3rd Birthday Party! (And another new post below)

We celebrated Addison's birthday this year at The Lollipop Shoppe and the kids had a great time. This is the cutest little candy shop here in Dacula and Addison just loves to go in there. The owner was nice enough to allow 20 3-5 years to have free run of his candy store and I have to admit...he was much more calm throughout the party than I would have been if it was my store!


Addison with Mom, Dad and Adam


So glad Uncle Adam was able to come!


Me and my Daddy :)

Soooo excited her "party day" was finally here (and wearing her birthday dress my Mom made her)

Addison LOVES Dora the Explorer this year and requested that she have a Dora birthday cake. Mom always makes her cakes and this year she made her an INCREDIBLE Dora cake! Addison LOVED it! In fact, she loved it so much that she didn't want us to cut it.


The Cake!


Thanks Mom for working so hard on this! It was perfect!


Make a wish!

Besides being a great candy shop, the store is full of stuff animals that the kids can make. At the party, all of the kids got to pick out an animal to "stuff" and that was the party favor to take home. It was neat to watch and see what animal each child chose and sweet to see the parents help them make them. Addison and a bunch of the little girls chose pink poodles...which I just think are the cutest things!

Here are some pictures from Addison's special day...sorry there are A LOT of them but I figure you'd rather see photos of Addison than me ramble on. :)


Some of the kids getting ready to hear all about the "stuffing tree"...


Addison chose the pink poodle


Daddy started out making the poodle with her but quickly turned it over to me...


Here we go!

As you can tell, Addison had a wonderful birthday and we are so thankful to all of our friends and family that came to celebrate our sweet girl turning "3" with us. It was a wonderful day!
