five

 We had someone in our house turn 5.

 Pretty big news around here.

 Addison Lee is our big 5 year old, and she couldn't be happier.  She's been looking forward to this birthday for a long time.  We've spread her party out over several weeks now.  We had a party while visiting up North, we celebrated with our family, cousins, and Nana on her actual birthday and now we had a big party with more cousins, aunts, uncles, mawmaw, pawpaw, and even great Grandma and Grandpa.

 We celebrated at Mawmaw and Pawpaw's.  The plan was to have a pool party, but the weather didn't fully cooperate.  The girls were able to get a quick swim in before (or in the midst of) some sprinkles.  But unfortunately the sun didn't appear until well after the swimming was done. 

 Presley didn't seem to mind at all.  She jumped right in.

 Reags too.

 Reese didn't move from the steps.  Too cold for her.

 It took Reilly a bit to convince herself to jump in, but she finally braved the chilly temps.

 The birthday girl jumped right in.

 Presley wanted to do her own gift to Addy this year.  She found a bag from her dress-ups, decorated several sticky notes, wrote her a card and then put her own money in the bag for Addy to open at her party.  So sweet.  Addison was especially thrilled that it was a gift "only from Presley".

 She got lots of fun toys and super cute outfits.

 And money to go shopping.

 She chose cupcakes over a cake and we had birthday cake in ice cream cones per her request. 

Love celebrating my full of life not so little girl.  Love.

Thanks Mawmaw & Pawpaw for letting us celebrate at your house and thanks everyone else who came to celebrate Addy.
