A Celebration of life!

It has been a while since I have written a post. It has been a busy couple of weeks. Two weeks ago my Grandpa passed away. He was 94 years old and lived a wonderful life. I only hope that I leave such a great and lasting legacy as he did. Over the last year he moved to an assisted living home and I loved bringing Addison to visit him on Sunday's after church. He loved to see her and it always brought a sparkle to his eye. I have so many great memories of him! We actually had the funeral on Addison's 1st birthday. What a wonderful celebration of life!

At night we went out to eat with our neighbors Mitch, Emily, and Kaden. I love watching the kids play together. The next day we had her birthday party at our house. We had a blast and Scott and I were reminded what wonderful families we have! I attempted to make her birthday cake with some serious help from my mother-in-law. Actually she did most of it and I helped:) It turned out so great! She got way to many presents and her favorite by far was the balloons. She still loves waking up and batting at them!

I love being the birthday girl!

Now balloons is what I do love!

Here is the cake that I helped with:)

Of course a family picture, but Addison was more interested in the cake and not having it on her hands.
Look all of my guests have arrived!

Here is the wagon Addison got!

We got Addison a trike and she really likes to ride it in the house or should I say likes to be pushed on it!
Scott and I are trying to get prepared for a cruise. We leave next week Sunday and we are so excited. We are going to the Western Caribbean for 5 nights. Our parents are watching Addison. I am so excited but starting to miss her already. How sad is that :) Hopefully the next post I make will be pictures from the trip.
