3rd (VERY belated) Birthday

I'm nearly three months overdue in posting this, but I really wanted to show some pictures of Addy's third birthday. I also wanted to upload video of it, but I don't think that's going to happen due to some technical difficulties. I was so glad that my mom was able to be here for Addy's party, she was so much help to me and we loved having her come visit! This birthday was a fun one, because it was the first year that Addy really understood that it was her birthday. I did a fish themed party this year. I think the highlight for all the kids was playing the fishing game. You know, the one where you get to fish for prizes. I had so much fun planning it (until the day of, when I was stressing out like crazy!) and I think that a fun time was had by all!

Decorations, which I put up in quite a rush and wasn't totally happy with!

There were also crafts, which Addy looks quite stressed about

And what party is complete without a bear and a pool stick?

This was the expression on Addy's face the whole time Happy Birthday was being sung to her. Her cute, embarrassed smile.

And of course the fishy cake, which luckily didn't taste at all fishy.

This was on Addy's actual birthday, with her dress-ups and quickly thrown together butterfly cake
