On Saturday Addy turned 2 years old. I can hardly believe it. She is such a joy to our family, and she gets more fun every year. This was her birthday dress, it was my first attempt at knitting a dress. It took about a month, and it is a little big for her, but I love it!
This picture of Addy sleeping is before we left on our Birthday Trip. She was super sleepy and the day had hardly begun!
We have started a tradition of doing something that the kids enjoy on their birthday. It doesn't always cost money. This year we went to the zoo. I hadn't taken the kids since Addy was a newborn. (I'm sure you can imagine why...newborn in sling, and two in a stroller/wagon with a tired mommy.) So this was fun, it was stinkin' hot though. We had a picnic lunch in City Park and then we to the zoo for about an hour. Grandma and Grandpa were able to join us as well.
I love this look on Zach...kind of. This look is becoming more and more common when he visits us. I'm hoping it is just because he is 12 and not because we are no fun. Although the latter could be a possiblity.
One of my good friends made this cake!! It is awesome! I don't know what I'm going to do from now on, she has set the bar very high. She will be moving this summer to Utah, so I'm on my own. She actually made a present to Addy of the Cinderella doll in the cake.
Sorry about the immodesty...like I said I made the dress a little too big. Sadly she will grow into it. :( The bike behind her was Grandma and Grandpa's present. There has been a bit of contention over the limited number of bikes, so this new bike will be a life saver.

Wow, she is so old and cute! Way to go on her dress, it is beautiful! I am so impressed you were patient enough to finish it... I never finish projects that take more than a week. And btw, you guys are way fun;)
