Addie is 8...isn't that great!!??

ADDIE TURNED 8 TODAY!

 

Up and ready to open her presents!  I love her morning hair!

 Sasha saved me once again and decorated her cake last night.  She did a fabulous job and Addie loved it!!

Holding her candle that I blinged up a bit with jewels.  You can never have too many jewels, right??

Holding her gifts from the family.  Another LaLaloopsy will now reside with us, and she got an Our Generation Doll from Target. (Looks like an American Girl Doll, doesn't it?? I LOVE those but not the price tag....dang!!)

Here is what the girls made at the party.  I got the containers at the dollar store as well as the rocks and other things they added to their gardens.  I made the toadstools from a batch of baker's clay I whipped up one night, then painted them.  They are my favorite!  They make the gardens look so cute, don't you agree??

 The girls were so cute, making their gardens.  They kept adding more and more rocks and jewels and it was just cute.  We sure have some cute girls in our neighborhood.  I am so glad they came!

Gotta share this gem of an idea from pinterest.  I strung these up with a needle and thread.  So much easier than crepe paper. That stuff drives me NUTS.

The books that our inspiration came from.  Addie got the pink one from Christmas and spent many a night in my bed, as we poured over each page, planning her party.  I will never forget that.  So precious.

 I loved sending the girls home with the fairy garden; it was different than what I usually do.They did get a small goody bag with a few pieces of candy, bubbles and a cute fairy poem I found in our flower fairy book.

It was a great day.  I am so happy to be Addie's mom.  She bring us joy and spunkiness we would miss without her. Happy Birthday, to our Little Lucky Boo.
