Adelyne is 4 Years Old!

Miss Adelyne turned four years last week. 


We spent almost all of last weekend celebrating our sweet little lady. You can read about that here.

Every year I create photo books for the kiddos after their birthday, with memories of the past year and I've included a page of "stats" in each one. For the past couple of years, Addy has been old enough to answer some of the questions herself. Here are this year's stats, Addy's answers are in italics.

AGE: 4
HEIGHT: She measured 39 inches at Target today
FAVORITE FOOD: Carrots
FAVORITE SHOW: Cartoons - the one on netflix with Mater 
She also likes to watch Mr. Peabody and Sherman almost.every.single.day.
FAVORITE COLOR: Purple
I don't know why she said purple after I had just thrown her a red birthday party. Her favorite color is red.
BEST FRIEND: "Carter! Are you going to ask me who my favorite cousin is now? Its Cooper!"
FAVORITE TOY: Baby
FAVORITE GAME: The Matching Game
FAVORITE PLACE TO GO: The dollar store
FAVORITE THING TO SLEEP WITH: Baby cow
FAVORITE ANIMAL: Cow
FAVORITE SNACK: Graham Crackers
WHAT SHE WANTS TO BE WHEN SHE GROWS UP: Teacher
She also told me she would like to be a mom.

And as much fun as these stats are, I don't think they give us an accurate description of Addy Grace at age four, so here are a few more fun facts:

She asks for a bandaid everyday, sometimes more than once a day. 
She asks what else she can do to help around the house.
She loves to play the damsel in distress role. 
She likes to take pictures on my phone to send to people.
She says "cutted" and "hurted" and "felled."
Her brother out toughs her on almost everything, except when it comes to playing in the snow, she's a champ.
She knows all the words to Hark the Herald Angels Sing and sings it everyday.
And she can't wait to be pregnant.

Addy got a pedal bike for her birthday and her Dad had to get one too, now they can ride together.


She made herself a computer and desk.

Happy Birthday sweet Addy Grace!

Addy's 4th Birthday Weekend

Our beautiful Adelyne turned four years old last Monday. 

The weekend before her birthday was a busy one, celebrating with grandparents and cousins and friends. Her Gran and Papa took her out for a Birthday dinner on Saturday and when we asked her where she wanted to go, Addy said "Can you give me some options?" In the end she settled on the Tomato Cafe.





The birthday celebrations continued on Sunday night when we had the rest of the family over for cake and ice cream.


 

We ended her birthday weekend on Monday morning (her actual birthday) with a Tutu and Top Hats Party! It was a little chaotic, but Addy loved it, if you can't tell by the huge smile on her face. 


Tutus for the girls and top hats for the boy.


Addy's favorite color is red, so almost everything about the party was red, including the cupcakes which were red velvet with a homemade buttercream icing.















What a blessing for Addy to have such sweet and silly friends to share life with.
