2

Addy is officially two.  Crazy enough, she turned 2 almost three weeks ago and boy can we not forget it.  The terrible twos have definitely hit our house with a boom, crash, and bang.
We celebrated Addy's birthday at a nearby park with 30 of our closest family and friends.  Despite a chilly wind, the weather was great and I think everyone had a great time.  The kids played in the sand, swung, went down the slides while the adults relaxed in the shade.

Of course, there was food too.  Pizza, green salad, fruit salad, and lots of chips & dip.  And we must not forget the cupcakes.  We had Mexican chocolate cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting, salted caramel cupcake with salted caramel butter cream frosting, & chocolate chip with chocolate frosting.

 "Happy birthday to you..."
Addy is one lucky girl.  She not only had a party, surrounded by her favorite people, but she also was spoiled rotten with presents.  She received WAY more presents than any child should get in one day but she has already enjoyed all of them.  



Overall, I think they day went well.  Love bug seemed to have a good time and hopefully everyone else did too.  We are so very, very lucky to have so many special people in our lives.  I cannot even begin to explain how full my heart was after Addy's party.  A huge thank you to those of you who were able to celebrate with us!
