Addison turned 2 years old on 12/14 and we took the opportunity to get the family together to celebrate at Papa's Pizza. We had heard all week that it was supposed to snow on Addison's birthday, but it's always hard to believe the weather forecast, so I just brushed it off. Well, when I woke up early Sunday morning to finish Addison's Dora the Explorer cake I was a bit surprised to see that the forecast was right and there was a dusting of snow on the ground and more flurries coming down. Despite the weather we still have a good turn out of family to celebrate Addison's birthday! Addison had lots of fun playing and opening presents and wanted to play with all of the presents as they were opened and would say "pretty" when she got clothes. Addison got lots of great gifts: a dollhouse with the home office, kitchen, and family car (that has a radio and horn), school cool computer with Elmo and Sponge Bob programs, Aqua Doodle, pink cowgirl boots (to replace the ones she grew out of last year), lots of great clothes, books, an Elmo DVD and some money towards an OMSI, Zoo, or Children's Museum membership. We are so glad that everyone could join us and braved the snow to do so. We really appreciated it and I know Addison had a great time!

Addison also had her 2 year old visit on 12/15 and here are are her stats: 2ft 10.65 in tall (75%) and 27 1/2 lbs (62%). The Dr was pleased with her progress and felt she excelled her expectations for her age.
