Addison Turns 4!

Addison turned 4 on February 20th. We had the Korby's over for dinner and cake. I attempted, for the first time, to make Addie a Hello Kitty cake. It turned out okay. Addison loved it, but since she isn't a big sweets kid, she didn't even have a piece! She is really into Hello Kitty and her gifts reflected that. We did sorta miss taking photos that night, but we had a good time.

On the 26th we had a big party for her the The Building for Kids here in Appleton. It is a fun children's museum. we had never been there before so it was BIG fun for us. The kids loved it. Grandma and Grandpa Steward came to chase after kids as well as both auntie's families, and our friends Jess and Amy and families. We had a nice crowd, and it was really nice because the kids were really able to go off with their family and enjoy the museum after the cake and gifts were over. Addie departed with a HUGE bundle of balloons, which she insisted on carrying to the car, and more fun toys.

She had her 4 year appointment last week and as we read the "normal things for a four year old" sheet the office gave us, we realized that Addison was EVERYTHING on the sheet. Our favorites are "has a penchant for silliness" and "fancies funny exaggerated stories" (this last one is especially true in the things she tells us!). Addison is a pretty care free, sweet girl. She loves pretty much everyone she encounters, and she will tell us all daily "I lub you!"
