Addison had a great 3rd birthday. We had to change the time of the princess themed party so that Nate could make it home in time from his Chile trip. We were very thankful that he was able to be at Addison's party. Addison also got a very special surprise that day. About a half hour into her party, we had guests dressed up in Beauty and the Beast costumes show up on our doorstep. Everyone stared at the two people standing on the other side of the glass door. Nate and I had NO IDEA who it was, so we would not open the door to let them in. It didn't hit us until Nate noticed my mom's arms and hands and said, "Is that who I think it is?" I replied, "Who?" Then, I walked closer to the door and the lady reached for the door handle. I recognized my mom's hands, started to cry, opened the door, and found my parents under the masks! It was so awesome! We had NO CLUE that they were coming, and Addison was beyond thrilled to see them. It was really great that they drove all the way from North Dakota to be with Addison. They were able to stay for a few days, and they also celebrated Easter with us.

Shhh...Papa is sleeping
Plenty of love for Papa
It was so strange that Addison started doing my dad's hair, because when I was a little girl, I always styled my grandpa's hair. My mom has pictures of me with my grandpa, and now I have pictures of Addison doing the same thing.
