For Addy's 8TH BIRTHDAY, she wanted a party with friends as her gift from us.

So we had her party at the Rec Plex pool where the kids take swimming lessons.

It's the biggest party we've had for any of the kids.

Addy had a blast and it was fun to see her classmates have fun together outside of school.

The cake was a Littlest Pet Shop cupcake cake from Walmart.

Most of the gifts she got were Littlest Pet Shop. Aaron helped open at least one gift.

Addy's class performed the Christmas story as a play. She was an angel.

 

At school the kids are not even supposed to talk about Santa Claus so the real meaning of Christmas doesn't get lost. Love it!

Here are the kids dressed up for the elementary Christmas concert. Jackson got to wear a tie for the first time.

This is the only decent picture of the evening. It's Addy's entire 2nd grade class.
