Bubba finally turns 5

It does seem like yesterday that we were bringing our sweet 2nd child home from the hospital, but in the same thought, her fourth year seemed to go on and on.  Maybe because all of her friends had turned 5 already and she looked like she was older. I don't know, but on the 22nd, she finally turned 5.  We hit the road and headed to Asheville for the night.  The girls just love to stay in hotels so that was a perfect way to celebrate.  Also, a way for me to get to the Grove Park Inn and check out the National Gingerbread House contest. The hotel was the Hotel Indigo and it was pretty standard but they made Addy's stay so sweet.  They had a balloon and ribbon on our door and a plate of cookies and candy canes waiting for her.  Something so simple, she didn't want to leave the hotel to go eat or sight-see. Just jump on the beds and roll around on the desk chair.  Happy 5th Addy!
