Addy had a birthday!

And she is 10!
 Yup... double digits!
Her birthday was September 6th, so on Labor Day we had a cookout with family and friends.
Aunt Heidi made her these super cute and yummy horse cakes.
We had the very best birthday surprise for her!!! I was so excited I almost told her before her birthday!
We got tickets for her and I to the Taylor Swift concert!!!!! Oh.my.gosh Addy LOVES Taylor Swift! I bought this poster and put a note (from Taylor Swift herself ;) ) inviting Addy Buck and her mom to the concert.
She was SO EXCITED that she got a poster, she didn't even notice the note...for a long time. We finally had to ask her what that was at the bottom of the poster. She read it, looked at me, read it again, looked at me again, screamed NO WAY! screamed (a little louder) MOM.ARE.YOU.SO.SERIOUS!!

She is still beside herself with excitement at 11 p.m. that night.
We went to Angie's for her birthday dinner and her FAVORITE coconut cream pie.
Our SUPER AWESOME friends Karen and Emma came to the concert with us.
We met up with Cole, ShanDee and Barbra.
And Addy said this was THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER! She was on her feet singing along to every song. She screamed until she lost her voice and hugged me and thanked me and said she would never forget this night...ever!!
That night was definitely one of those "Priceless" moments and a perfect memory for a Mom to share with her beautiful Daughter!
