After discussing countless time what theme Addyson wanted for her birthday party, I gave up. She changed what she "really, really" wanted no less than one dozen times. She started out wanting a birthday cake with a picture of a birthday cake on it. Next came my favorite, a cake with a picture of her on it, draw by me. What she didn't realize is, I have trouble drawing a stick man. She told me she would pose next to the counter for me and that I could just keep looking at her. Yeah right. So after her indecisiveness, I planned a surprise party, inviting those she had mentioned in earlier discussions.
Grandma and Grandpa Neff came up on Friday to take her to lunch and stayed the night. They got up on Saturday morning to head to Home Depot for the Kid's Time. I told Scott not to show back up here at home until a few minutes after 1:00. They had a hard time finding things to do. Home Depot was out of projects, so they wondered around the store for a while. I'm sure the girls had a blast with that. Then they went to eat at Broadway Burger. Addyson informed me that she was special because she got to eat lunch out 2 days in a row. Lucky her!
Most of her friends were here when she showed up. She came running in because her friend Izzy was here, she'd seen their van. Boy was she ever surprised, although later she informed me that she knew about the party. The look on her face was priceless! We did a teddy bear theme and had friends bring their favorite teddy to play games with. I think fun was had by all.
After doing one surprise party, I'm sure that we will be planning another one in about 7 1/2 months for Janae.

That cake came out really cute. I was wondering how the party turned out yesterday. I guess it was good.
I was looking at the picture of Addyso when you were lighting the candle. You might not like this but holy cow!!!!!!!!!!! She looks a lot like Anna did at that age. I've never noticed it before now.
