Happy 5th Birthday Addison Grace Russell
My beautiful Addi Grace, your mommy just can't believe I'm even typing on our blog about your FIFTH birthday party!! Your birthday was at the end of August but because of it being at the very beginning of school and football craziness we decided to wait a little bit for your rainbow party! Mommy wanted you to have a Pinkalicious party like your sister, Lex, had her favorite color purple party when she was 3! You had planned on a Pink party but then decided to have a Rainbow party! It was so much fun to plan!
We of course decorated with lots of rainbow colors and we planned a couple of crafts for your friends to make! You helped me make bags for your friends to thank them for coming...we put pieces of a rainbow in a bag (skittles) and attached a sweet note that said taste the rainbow, then tied it together with a rainbow ribbon. Mommy appreciated all of your help the day of your party! Ella went with Daddy to fill the balloons and you stayed with Mommy to help me and I just don't know what I would have done if I didn't have my sweet 5 year old to help me! Addi Grace, you were so sweet to all of your guests! You had friends from church and school come and I know that you enjoyed them so much at your party.
We had bowls filled with rainbow beads and made rainbow bracelets for your friends to wear! Everyone made such unique bracelets. Some lined up each color and others mixed all the colors! It was so sweet to see all your friends wearing their colorful rainbow bracelets at church the next day!
We also decorated cupcakes with white icing and sprinkled rainbows of sprinkles!! All of your friends did such a good job on decorating their cupcakes! Some friends used one color and some piled on all the colors!! I think Ella Jo just worried about how much icing she could fit on her one cupcake...We also got an ice cream cake for anyone who didn't decorate cupcakes! It was the first time we ever got an ice cream cake and it was such a big hit at your party!!
When your friends wanted a break from all the bracelets and cupcakes they jumped on the moonwalk!! Thank you Eric Plunkett for bringing the awesome moonwalk!! They had so much fun and what an awesome thing to have at your party for your friends to enjoy...I think it's a must at every party!!
Your Mommy remembers very well just last year and all the years before, I had to hold you to open presents! You were so shy and would barely open them! Not this year Addi Grace, that's just another way you are showing your Mommy and Daddy that you are growing older sweet baby! You were so thankful for all of your gifts and made Mommy so proud how you would thank each person after opening their gift they brought you!!
Mommy and Daddy have sweet friends they hold so very dear to their heart and they prayed for many years just like we did to have beautiful babies bless their lives! Just like us, God answered their prayers and wow he blessed us just about at the same time! (isn't our God awesome?) Miss. Lexi Tubbleville came into our awesome lives just a few months before you did and y'all have grown up together! Mommy needs to work on a photo album because I have tons of pictures of y'all together before either of you had any hair...
When Lexi was leaving your party she was crying at the door not wanting to leave! I offered for her to stay and I could bring her home...but wait...better yet...let Lexi stay the NIGHT!! That is how both of your very first sleepover happened! So, after the party we picked Lexi up and you will see from the pictures how much fun you both had! Lexi kept saying..."This is going to be the best sleepover Ever!!" and it was my angel!! Addi Grace, your big sister, Alexa, would like to stay the night at her friends house too for your next sleepover!! We had church the next day and Mommy got all 3 of you ready and we were there on time...yay Mommy! All 3 of y'all giggled and giggled and that was the most precious sound to your Mommy's ears! I thought to myself...how precious little girls are! Sweet angels sharing giggles, cupcakes, and friendship! Thank you God for such sweet giggles between two best friends! I'm sure y'all will share lots of giggles as the years pass!

What an awesome way to end an awesome day! We had so much fun at your party! I wish we could celebrate every 6 months...but the 12 months seem to sneak it's way back too fast!
When Mommy was turning out all the lights from your party after cleaning up I just stopped and looked at the room that was put back exactly how we found it and I said a quick prayer thanking our Father for such an awesome party! I also thanked Him for giving me 5 years of Heaven on this Earth. You have blessed our lives so much my beautiful brown eyed girl! Mommy whispered in your ear when you were a baby..."I don't know how my heart was beating before you??" You have brought so many beautiful blessings to our lives and there isn't a day that doesn't go by that I don't thank my Savior for answering my prayers. Thank you God for loaning me Your beautiful children! I promise to cherish every breath, memory, and all the giggles for all the years to come~
