Birthday Fun!

We celebrated Addy's 3rd birthday this weekend. We started with a small party on Friday, where Addy and two of her close friends visited a place called Girly Girlz. They got their nails painted, a little make-up, and their hair done. It was pretty cute, except for the fact that Addy was having an emotional breakdown throughout the entire process. I was looking forward to the event for weeks and was quite disappointed that it didn't go as planned. They took a group photo at the end, which was pretty much the best part..but Addy insisted upon sobbing on the edge of her seat and spoiled the picture. In addition, my camera had a smudge on the lens and the pictures I got are messed up.




I actually managed to get 1 picture where she looks happy. Too bad it's foggy from my dirty lens. :(

We took the girls to get ice cream afterward, and the birthday girl sure perked up there. I cleaned my lens (thanks Jess!) and got a few pictures of her chocolate princess face.





Things went better on Sunday at her official birthday party. It was a nice day and so many of our friends and family made it to the party. It was really great. Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with us!









I made my first ever fondant cake, for the party. Though I made cupcakes for everyone to eat.. I'm sure they tasted better. :)






Ainsley made her rounds at the party. It's a good thing she got a nice long morning nap in.. The poor girl was still suffering from our ongoing cold symptoms but seemed to enjoy all the lovin' and slept quite well last night.







It was a really great day and we are so glad so many people were able to come and join us. Addy's REAL Birthday is on Wednesday and I plan to do something special with her..just not entirely sure what yet. We will have a girls day of sorts. I'll be sure to get some pictures and post about it. If Ellen Degeneres can celebrate her birthday all week....so can Addy! :)
