Happy Birthday Princess NANA!!!!

Living so far away from your mom and dad, you miss some of the little moments....they just pass us right by and the only way to share in these moments is via phone calls, cards, or emails...and now with our Iphone's we can FaceTime!! Well not this moment....my mom's (aka: Nana's) birthday, this year we were fortunate and thankful that she made the trip up to Wichita to spend her special day with all of us!!  Word's can not describe how excited my little Addie was that her Nana came and even stayed with us. For FIVE days Addie got Nana's attention and love....and at night Nana got to read Addie her bedtime book and snuggle up together for bed! Nana may not have LOVED Addie's wiggly body through out the night....but I know Nana LOVED the parts before and after the wiggling began :) AKA: bedtime stories and Good morning Sunshine Nana!!  We did so many things with Nana....and below I have selected the pictures celebrating the best day....the big PRINCESS party for Nana....as Addie so eloquently choose as Nana's party them :)


Nana (aka:my momma) is taken a pic with one of our family friends, Ryan. In the background you can see my handsome little brother Brendan (in the glasses)!! This started the night off!! 



Miss Addison hanging out with Gunner! Who is actually my cousin, and Addison's second Cousin. Addie loved having Gunner to party with for Nana's party 


Addie, Grandpa Whitney (my grandpa, Addie's great grandpa), birthday princess, Ryan, and Brendan
Taking a moment to enjoy the beauty of the princess cake with Candles! 


I wish I got a picture of us singing happy birthday!! It was pretty cute listening to Addie sing/ slash pray the birthday song! She holds her hands the same way she does when she prays for the song.
Nana.....what was your wish, did it come true! Hope you had a happy birthday!! 


Princess Nana with her Belle cake....Addie got to pick out the design for Nana's Cake, she said it was the prettiest cake she ever saw!! 


Yep...that's right....Addie is cutting the cake! Nana let Addison go to town on this cake, cutting everyone a piece or should I say a "chunk" of cake. Addison literally cut out the head (Belle's face) for her own piece! Oh my it was funny. 



"I LOOVVEEE YOOOUU MAN"
 
I'm sorry but I just had to add this picture...this is my mom with her baby brother! There's just nothing like the love of your baby brother! Uncle Tim makes no exceptions....he's a pretty awesome Uncle and I know he holds a special place in my mom's heart!! This is a bond like no other!


The beautiful "MARVULOUS" Princess Belle Cake!! She really did do a great job picking out Nana's princess cake!! It was spectacular. The cake flavor was half Chocolate with Chocolate frosting and half Strawberry with Chocolate frosting. Addie tried to get Nana to get all Strawberry, Nana tried to get Addie to get all Chocolate. Both girls had their favorites....we were at a stand still in the cake store!
Nana even said, "but I don't like strawberry" Addie's replied, "well maybe if you try it Nana, that's a good idea" Nana said, "Nooo, please Addie can we have chocolate"Addie finally replied "Well maybe if you do Chocolate and Strawberry, would that be a good idea Nana"
And it was settled. The two had compromised they were both going to get their favorites...and both were very happy that night eating it.....might I add Uncle Brendan was VERY excited too, because he LOVES strawberry!! Brendan claims Addie was looking out for him :)


My beautiful Niece, Ryan, and myself!! Just love this girl she's a breath of fresh air!! 


Last but not least...my one and only! Curtis and I snagged a pick...and he smiled! I love his smile...this man makes me so happy, Addie and I love us some Magic Grinch :)
 
This concludes our Celebrations for Nana! I might add this was not the only celebration!! On Nana's actual birthday I got to go on a girls trip....three generations: My Grandma Whitney, My mom, and myself! We had a day of shopping at our favorite places in Kansas City. We got to meet up with my big brother, Jordan and his two cuties: Kellen and Aiden! We enjoyed lunch at the Cheesecake factory....had a birthday cheesecake and sang to Nana!! Then later that night we met up with Jordan's beautiful wife, Amanda (my sister-in-law) in Lawrence for a little more shopping and dinner at their favorite Restaurant in Lawrence! Kellen and Aiden had balloons for Nana and lovely cards!! It was such a fun day!! Hope we can make this an annual occurrence :)
Nana...we love you and are so blessed and grateful that you are in our lives!! Addie is soo lucky to have you has her Nana...and Curtis and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being an amazing presence in her life and ours!!
