The party is ovah!
Well, it's officially over. My baby is one year old and has had her party. The cakes are now destroyed and our friends and family are stuffed full of hot dogs and icing and should be coming down off their sugar high right about now. :) (I know I am crashing...and HARD)
Addison had an amazingly long nap leading up to the party and was an absolute joy to be around today. I think my favorite part of the day was when she opened her gifts! I had contemplated skipping this part since babies don't really open gifts and usually it is just a show of the parents opening prizes while the babies play in paper and seem to not care two hoots about any of the gifts their friends bought them. Addison however quite surprised me today. She was genuinely interested in each gift (especially the BOOKS that our dear friends Scott and Barb brought her). She took an interest in each item as daddy unwrapped them for her (and then went back to her book) lol. It was really cute and a lot of fun to watch.
I was too busy chatting and getting stuff done to really take a bunch of pictures, but I did get a few that I can share tonight. We had such a great time with family and a few friends! We should really entertain more often on a "just because" basis. I enjoy it immensely!
