Monkey's First Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I am late in posting this as it was a really busy week! Life is a lot harder when you have a one year old that you are chasing:) By the time you get to relax she's asleep and I am tired myself so here is all the info on my monkey's birthday.

My mom and I set up Abby's Pizza like it was no body's business. I had princess balloons with monkey's holding them:) Her theme was a Princess Monkey Birthday. I got princess cupcakes and a pink cute little cake just for her:) It looked like Abby's got sprayed down with pink and monkey's but it was worth it for my little princess!!!

When she showed up she was a little grumpy but got in the swimg of things by the time she got to eat:) Kid LOVES cottage cheese. By the time we stripped her down for the cake she wasn't quite sure what to think. Plus she had all these people she doesn't see all the time watching her. She just poked around and finally after about 10 minutes I shoved her hand into the cake- I know mean mommy but I wanted her to go crazy with it. Well apparetenly Addison is a texture person and doesn't like things on her hands so she took all the frosting and smeared it all over Sissy's (Cariann to everyone else) hair and face! It was so funny I wish I would have got a picture of that.

Than came the presents...she wasn't all that interested so mommy opened them all with the help of most of the other kids:) She got some awesome presents but I think the highlight was her little Ming Ming! Thanks Uncle DJ she loves it!!!! She also loves her baby doll that her yaya got her...goodness she packs that thing around but it's so funny to watch. Trav, my mom, and I got her a sandbox that she is getting more into every day. She loves just playing in the sand. My dad and other mom got her a kangaroo climber which she is funny to watch with. It has a slide and she tries to climb up the slide and climbes through it and under it. She is a goof! She loved all of her presents so thank you to everyone who came! She had so much fun!!!

On her actual birthday which was last Monday, we had a barbeque for the little monkey and my parents and Trav's parents came over. She had a blast that whole day! My mom and sister didn't leave town until noon so she got to eat breakfast and go shopping wtih them- Yes all 3 of us are teaching her bad habits when it comes to shopping very early:) Than her and auntie shared some cheesecake! She now thinks auntie is the bomb diggity. Sissy taught her to jump on the bed and gave her sugar!!!!!!!! I think she will want to go to Auntie's house when she gets older:)

Anyway it was an awesome weekend! All of my family was in town including my cousins who I haven't seen forever! Trav's cousins came up from California and we got to see them! It was such a great time and she had fun!
