So Mr A. wanted a football themed 5th birthday. Specifically, a Tom Brady Patriots football party. He's been planning since, oh...his 4th birthday! We held his party in the church fellowship hall since we were planning on having a lot of moving happening.
The morning started with his birthday spankings from daddy.
And the siblings showing off their unpainted football helmets. Addison was very excited about these, despite his face in this picture.
We played pin the football between the goal posts...
And decorated their football helmets...
Lunch, complete with a football cake to end with!
But I think by far, the biggest hit of the party was the Ultimate Football Challenge...
This was awesome. Addison was the first to try it out, but by the time more kids had had a chance, you should have heard the shouting and cheering going on in that place. So much fun!
Addison, You are full of imagination. Whatever strikes your fancy becomes a full blown adventure for about a week if not longer. From pirates to knights, superheroes, astronauts or cowboys, you have lived the life of all of them this year!
We started school at home and you love it. You are a serious learner who takes in information very quickly. Your old friendships have deepened and you have begun several new friendships this as you have become more outgoing with those you don't know.
You strive for your daddy's attention and love playing and working with him whenever you can. You are a great helper and enjoy the company of your siblings.
You are finally willing to have your hair washed and have started taking showers all on your own! You LOVE reading and books and our trips to the library have become a weekly highlight for you.
You are emotional and sensitive and we are working on teaching you how to deal with your disappointments and frustrations. This year you have begun to have chores and you are learning what it means to work hard and do good work.
You are getting more comfortable with dogs and now think you might just like to have one...
You love going for rides, shopping, watching tv and drawing. You have bloomed into quite the artist this year!
You learned to ride your bike without training wheels and are getting much more brave about going into deep water. You played T-ball with the Y this year and LOVED it.
You are a planner and like to see things through to the end. You would rather know that plans than being surprised and you do well with having a schedule.
Your inner sweet spirit that has always been there continues to shine through at age 5. We love you very much, Addison Christian, and are very proud of you.
