Addy at 4

I can't believe that my baby is 4. Definitely not a baby anymore.  This year was very entertaining in getting ready for her birthday. Every time we asked her what she wanted for her birthday, her answer was: clothes.  Not your normal 4 year old answer, but there it is.  I also asked her what kind of birthday she wanted and her answer was, "I don't want a party."  Upon asking why, her reply was "cuz then lots of people come".   She doesn't do well in crowds.

So, we kept things very simple.

Addy's big request for her birthday besides clothes was that she wanted to get her nails done. Yes, she is ALL GIRL.  So, I took the girls for their first excursion to get their nails done. They were absolutely thrilled about the idea.

Then, we had a little 'friends' party for her with a few of her best little buddies.  She doesn't play much with these girls because she is just very nervous to be away from me and doesn't really handle social situations very well. BUT, these little girls she see's as her best little friends. (Autumn, Hailey, Sophie & Maya)

Last, was a party at Chuck E. Cheeses with only those she is most comfortable with, and we kept it small for her sake.  But, first, this is how I found her before her last little hoorah!

Poor girl was exhausted. I had to wake her up to get her ready for her family party at Chuck E Cheeses.

This little Koala Bear has slept with Addy every night since her birthday. It was a great day with great people and Addy could not have felt more love on her birthday. She was surrounded by her biggest fans and I am just grateful for such great family.
