First Birthday Party and Wild Turkeys on the run!

28 comments
On Saturday, we celebrated Addison's first birthday with a party at our home.
I am hoping this picture will make you smile!
It was a beautiful and sunny day with highs in the low 80's!  Our Indian summer has been amazing and we have a couple more days of it before reality sets in.



This was the look on her little face when we were all started singing Happy Birthday .    I could tell she just couldn't understand why we were all standing there looking at her and singing too!  I got such a kick out it!
And notice her little scraped up nose?  She was running down our gravel lane with me in fast pursuit, when she took a tumble.  Grandma cried right along with her!


Digging into that birthday cake!


Want a bite Grandma?


Two peas in a pod...my daughter and grand-daughter!


I made a banner to hang in the window with pictures from each month of her first year!
I think it turned out ok and it cost me nothing because I had all the materials around the house already.


We had a flock of wild turkeys in our yard last week.
They are so humorous when they start to run!
I think they were after the pile of apples my hubby had placed in the woods.


They reminded me of an army of little soldiers marching up the hill!
Well that's about it for me guys.  Last week was very tough on me.  My daughter started a new job and was working two jobs while I planned for Addison's birthday party.   I was babysitting night and day and still trying to cook for a crowd.
This week should be more settled and less hectic.
I have toughened up but not that tough! he-he.
Take Care,

Cindy

Today is my grand-daughter Addison's first birthday!  She was born at 12:03 a.m. and I cried right along with my daughter!
I think I felt everyone of her labor pains too!
She has enriched our lives so very much and I can't imagine life before her!
Who knew being a Grandma would be so much fun!

We are expecting highs in the upper 70's to about 80 all week long.
Amazing weather for us this late in the season!
And I am also busy preparing a B-Day party for little Addison.
We are having it this upcoming Saturday, can't wait!
Any great 1st birthday party ideas would be gladly accepted.
