Party Time!

Adeline's big day was Friday October 26.  As a general birthday rule, the birthday boy or girl gets to choose his favorite food/activities (within reason) for the day.  Addie's breakfast choice was doughnuts and "big oranges".  Easy enough!  (Though she should have said frosting and big oranges because that's really what she ate).

That morning she also got to open a package from Aunt Angie & Uncle Josh (and Logan and Julia).  It was a purple purse book!  She loved it, of course!

 The rest of her birthday was spent doing ordinary things, added in with lunch at McD's (though her first choice was Papa and Nana's), a visit from Papa and Nana, and dinner out with Grandpa Jeff and Grandma Lois.

Saturday was the big party!

Here's the birthday girl with her cake.

 I decided to go for a Fallish theme, so made an owl cake.  Addie honestly would have been happy with anything that I made.  She is easy to please:)

 The whole meal was pretty easy.  Per Addie's request, we had hot dogs, pizza, chips, apples, clementines...in a nutshell, we had party food!

 The kids, there were 9 present age 6 and under, went on a scavenger hunt as little squirrels.  Addie got to lead the way, with Nathan reading all the clues.

The prize...Acorns, of course!

After games and lunch, it is time for cake! 

Ella was doing a countdown all week long until Addie's party.  She said she could not wait to get her tongue on that cake!

Addie loves to open presents, but again she is easy to please and would be happy with anything.  A paper cup was accidentally placed in a gift bag, and she got excited over that thinking it was a gift for her!

Here she is with a couple of "real gifts". 

Cinderella Barbie

 & a bike from Papa and Nana.  This one is very similar to Ella's (same size and is princess).  However, it has a baby basket in the front, which cause for much excitement.  It may be next Spring until she rides it outside, but she is looking forward to it!
