Addison's Birthday

I'm finally adding Addison's birthday post.  I haven't had much time for blogging lately, so I have to get caught up.  Addison turned 4 in February.  She had a nice little family celebration, shared with her dad as their birthday's are only a few days apart.  Then because at age four they now get to have "friend" parties on their even numbered birthdays....family only parties on odd numbered birthdays.  Just a little tradition of ours.

For Addison's "friend" party she and a cute little group of other 4 year olds, went to a "Build-a-Bear" type of place....sorry, we are too small town for an actual "Build-a-Bear" place.  The kids all got to pick out and stuff, dress, and name their own stuffed animals.  Afterwards they played with a Thomas the Train set-up at the party place.  The girls seemed to really enjoy.

Here's the party girls!

Here's Addie and dad sharing a birthday cake....although it was pink and heart shaped!  So not much of a "daddy" cake...but he got his own homemade German Chocolate cake earlier in the week.

Sea World

Not many pictures today.  We took it pretty easy today since we were so exhausted after a long day at Epcot yesterday.  We loved the dolphin and whale shows.

I return home tomorrow...I'm excited to see my family again.

EPCOT

We spent the day at the Epcot Center today.  Here we are at lunch in the Land Pavillion.

It was a great lunch...and we had lots of visitors.

We learned today how to tell the difference between Chip and Dale...as they both came to visit us today.  Here is a picture of me and Chip...he has a darker nose like a chocolate "chip", and only one tooth.  Dale has a slightly redder nose and two teeth.  Now we know.

Here we are in line waiting for our turn on the new ride "Soarin".  We loved it so much we rode it three times!

Baloo came and snuck up on me and Sallie today.  He was SOO cute!

Today was so fun!

BUT, I am so sick!  I've got a sore throat and fever, and just feel awful...and as the day went on I felt worse and worse...by the end I had completely lost my voice.  BUT sister's retreats don't happen very often, so I bucked up and stuck it out.  Hopefully, I will feel better tomorrow as we are spending the day at Sea World.
