Look Who Is 7!!!

We had a super fun day on Friday, Addison's actual birthday.  She had school and then her art class, followed by presents from Ella and then a trip to buy a new bike and dinner at Skeeter's.  The girls even remembered to take money to play the games at Skeeter's which was a hit. 

Then Saturday was the big birthday party at the roller skating rink.  Addy loves skating, although a lot of her friends were skating for the first time.  It was a little tricky to get pics of the kids on the rink, since most were just trying to stay vertical, but here is a pic of Addy and her best friends from preschool. 

Michael wins dad of the year award for putting on roller skates and skating around with the kids for the whole party.  There were a handful of parents that were brave enough to put skates on and most of them had one or two kids hanging off of them the entire party (quite a workout for the parents!)  Here is Michael and Addison modeling their skates.  

Everyone looking at the camera and smiling!  This is a birthday present in itself.  

I got a little excited about the roller skate cake!  Addy and her friends loved it.  It was hard to believe that I was putting 7 candles on the cake!    

Ella even tried skating.  When we first got there she put skates on and went about 12 inches.  Then later in the party she wanted to try again and maybe went about 6 feet.  So she is improving, but skating is definitely not at the top of her list right now.
