Happy Birthday Addison: 24 months/2 years

I can't believe you are 2 years old...how time flies!!! Mommy and Daddy took off for your birthday and we spent the day celebrating YOU! 

We got dressed and let you open a few presents...a pink Radio Flyer Scooter and tap shoes! 

You haven't quite figured out how to use the scooter yet, but it's only a matter of time.

You do love the tap shoes and the sound that they make. Here is a little video of you testing out the tap shoes for the first time.

After opening gifts, we took you to the mall. Last year on your 1st birthday, we bought you a pair of pink converse, so this year we kept with the tradition, but bought you a red pair this time. 

We then took you on a train ride around the mall..."Choo Choo" is still one of the sweetest phrases you say :)

We also did our birthday tradition of letting  you pick out a stuffed animal at Build a Bear. This year you chose an elephant. We named her Emily the Elephant and she has a ballerina tutu just like you!

For lunch we took you to Chuck E. Cheese...and oh my word, you LOVED it!!! From the rides, to the pizza, to giving Chuck E.the mouse a high five, you were in Heaven!!!

That evening we invited D-ma, Jilly, and Pops over and we all went out to dinner to not only celebrate your special day, but also Jilly and Pops' anniversary. They gave you a stuffed Nemo doll and I thought your heart would explode!!!

While you are celebrating 2 years, Jilly and Pops are celebrating 42 years of marriage.

D-ma gave you the sweetest jewelry box with a turning ballerina. We will be able to store all your pretty jewelry, along with your first James Avery Charm Bracelet!

We had such a great day celebrating you, Addison Kate. You are the light of our lives and we love you MORE than the world!
