Addie has had a great birthday so far! We started off with birthday presents early this morning. She got a set of Judy Blume books from Oma and Opa and stuffed animals from Grandma Donna (a plush Pokemon Mew and a panda bear). She then got her birthday gift from us which was a hatchimals egg toy that she really wanted. She took a risk with this request because they cost $100 so she knew that it would be the only gift from us this year and since it's a surprise egg toy you don't even know if the one you bought is a duplicate of one you already have. Luckily for her it was a new Hatchimal so she was very pleased. I'm glad it worked out in her favor because that would have been a bummer.
After gifts and breakfast we all got ready to go to Hudson's flag football game. After his game we jumped back into celebrating Addie mode haha. We had McDonald's as her birthday lunch. I might have tried to talk her into Ihop or Golden Coral but McDonald's was what she wanted of course. That's fine. Usually we try to do a birthday dinner but Danny had to work at his second job so this lunch was perfect. It was also kind of convenient because we didn't have a whole bunch of time before we had to be at Addie's soccer game. Her team has been incredible this season. Last year they barely won any and really struggled on the field. This year they seem like a whole new team and are currently undefeated halfway through the season. They have played four games so far and have won them all. They have four more games to go. Today they won their game 2-1. It was a really fun game to watch. This same team that they played today beat them last season with a 2-1 score. I was in charge of the team snacks so I happened to be there close to the team at the end of the game where they started singing to Addie 'Happy Birthday'. I'm glad I got it on video. I'm also glad she has such a good group of friends to play and grow with.
I told Addie she can choose how we spend the rest of our day today and she chose swimming at the pool. She absolutely loves the pool. Danny had to leave for work so I took the five kids to the pool by myself. Thankfully I've had a lot of practice this summer and this isn't something that really stresses me out anymore. We had a lot of fun. We sent a message to our neighbor who is Addie's best friend and her family ended up coming and spending the time with us. It was a lot of fun.
Danny is at work now so we'll be doing her birthday cake tomorrow. That's actually not the reason we're doing it tomorrow though. I asked Addie what kind of cake she wanted and she really wants an Oreo ice-cream cake. I went to the store yesterday and they were sold out. They had some other ice-cream cake flavors but she really wants Oreo. We didn't have time to get one today with two of the kids having sports today and Danny working so we got her an Oreo McFlurry from McDonald's earlier to hold her over until we can get one tomorrow. It's already in my online pickup order cart and they show that they have one in stock for us so fingers crossed that tomorrow goes well. Addie is actually super okay with it because it's another day where we get to continue celebrating her birthday. Addie I love you and I hope you had the best birthday yet.

We got her ice-cream cake today and of course this is Texas so it melted on the way home haha. It looks so flat! Thankfully Addie was a really good sport about it and didn't care. She was grateful we got her the cake she wanted even if it did become more of a drink.
