A whole hand

That's right! Addison turned 5 years old on the 21st of August. I think a lot about their delivery during this time of year and it always makes my heart hurt. The couple days before their birthday I had a few breakdowns but I tried to keep it separate from her birthday. I want her to always know I love celebrating her and her wonderful life and I don't want to have her see me sad on her special day. It's hard to separate the two but I try my hardest because she deserves the best day.

She has been so excited for her birthday that we made a count down a month ago, that way I didn't have to tell her every day how much closer she was to her birthday. Excited was an understatement for her, she couldn't have been more happier to be 5 years old.

Addie decided she wanted a troll themed party, so that's what we did! I found some cute ideas off Pinterest and copied them, I think they turned out pretty cute!

We are so blessed to have such wonderful families on both sides. Every year we have such a wonderful turn out and we feel so loved and supported. Addie was spoiled and had the best birthday!

After we celebrated Addison, we wrote messages to our Miss Allie and let them go to heaven for her. I love that everyone sings Happy Birthday to Allie separately. It means so much to me. My heart is full.

We love both our girls so very much. Happy Birthday Addison & Allie!
