Addie's Birthday

Addie had two third birthday parties, one with family and one with friends. For her family party she wanted a mermaid theme. So the kids wore their festive Caseville t-shirts and we played tropical tunes. She ordered her favorite meal, spaghetti with salad and breadsticks. I made a mermaid cake that turned out better than expected.

Addie shared her friend party with her friend Addie Rose who turned 3 five days after Addison. They call each other Addie Rose and Addie Elizabeth to distinguish each other and its caught on, everyone calls them that now. For the friend party we rented a large conference room at the community center and decorated it princess theme. There were crafts, coloring, dressups, castle building and with so many boy siblings a few knights were in attendance. The highlight of the party was a visit from a real princess who came to read a story to the kids and pass out treats from her magic basket! The real princess's identity, our cousin Lindsay, who was awesome to agree to the task. The kids had such a good time and were mesmerized by the real princess, cutest thing ever!
