Addie Kate, I can't believe you're already 5...you are growing up way too fast! Please don't ever stop dressing up like a princess and giving me spontaneous hugs & kisses. Your personality is so beautiful. You are so sensitive towards others and very compassionate when others are hurting. Your enthusiasm for life is contagious. Your competitive nature and wanting to be like your sister is helping you learn faster; I can't believe you are already writing the alphabet and sounding out small words! You want to help people every chance you can. How blessed I am to have you for a daughter!
We had Addie's party at the Jumping Party...pretty self-explanatory; a huge room with lots of those big blow-up jumpy thingies.
She also got her ears pierced! Here she is in the chair, nervously waiting.

"That hurt more than I thought it would." She was so brave!
Still hurts a few minutes later....
...but a sucker made it all better. :)
