Addison's 1st Birthday

We recently celebrated Addy's first birthday!  I feel like I was planning this party for such a long time!  I was so excited when the weekend of her party finally arrived!  We have a lot of family...and I don't mean second, third cousins.  I mean just immediate extended family, so our invite total was 88 people!  I feel blessed to have such a big and wonderful family, but sometimes I do envy those that get to throw a small party! 
The day was beautiful!  We had her party at an American Legion Hall since you would not be able to move with 85 people in my house!

I had an adorable collage of photos framed along with her baby book and an autograph frame as a keepsake for Addison!

We had entertainment for the kids (since there were about 20!). Balloon animals and face painting were a hit (thanks to my wonderful parents who arranged for them!)

Addison LOVED her cake and was putting on quite the show for everyone, smiling, laughing...it was ADORABLE!

Grace enjoyed her cake too, although, she wasn't quite as cooperative with the camera!!

It was a fabulous party but a lot of work!  I couldn't have done it without my parents or brothers or sister!  We have so many wonderful memories from that day!! What a blessing!
