The Celebration Continues...

Addie turned two last week! I was so happy to be here to celebrate with her (last year we were coming home from Brazil). I can't believe I have a two year old! She is an amazing little girl and we are so happy to have her in our family. She has brought so much joy and excitement into our home.


After having her friend party on Friday, we continued to celebrate on Saturday (her actual birthday). I tried to start the morning off by singing Happy Birthday to her and video taping her, but her room was too dark and she was less than thrilled to have a bright light shining in her face after just waking up.


We had wrapped her presents the night before so they were ready for her when she woke up. She opened the first three (an Elmo's World DVD, two books and some play oven mitts) and just as she was getting ready to open the last, big one, I asked her what she thought it was. She very quickly & casually replied, "It's a baby". She caught me totally by surprise! She was right though!


She was very excited about her baby. She wanted to take it out of the packaging immediately and we just couldn't get it undone fast enough.


A little later that morning, we headed up to the Zoo. The weather was beautiful, it wasn't too crowded and the animals were very active. Unfortunately, Addie wasn't feeling too great so she wasn't as excited as she usually is. She wanted me to carry her a lot of the time. Before we left, we decided to get a little snack. We let her pick hers and what did she pick? Popcorn! A True Cullimore!


That night, we had a fun get together with Addie's aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. Clay made Elmo out of the cupcakes and Addie loved it!


She got some fun presents- including a bunch of dress-up shoes (which she calls her flip flops) and accessories for her baby.


Thanks everyone for coming to celebrate with us! We had a great time and hope you did too! We love you all!


Happy Birthday Addie! We love you so much!
