With the Butler family already in town for Thanksgiving, the Lutz crew joined us the following Saturday for an abbreviated birthday party to celebrate Addison's first birthday. The stomach bug that had already caused Brad to spend most of the weekend in the RV Quarantine and kept Wyatt sidelined for a few hours had now moved on to the latest family member to fall victim, the Birthday Girl. It was very unfortunate timing... she got sick just as we were setting up for the party and as the last group was driving to our house. Since we already had the food prepped and a house full of people, we rushed through hamburgers and hotdogs for lunch and sang Happy Birthday to Addison while she was she slept in my lap. It felt pretty silly to sing to her while she was sleeping, but I couldn't let her first birthday party pass with out singing to her. By the time we all had cake and cupcakes, Addison woke up and was probably feeling about 50%, but enough to power through opening presents with Greyson's help. Everyone said their quick goodbyes soon after and opted for waves instead of hugs and kisses. Addison took another nap after everyone left and woke up feeling much better. Fortunately, the stomach bug only lasted a few hours for her, but it just happened to be the few hours of her birthday party. Aside from the Thanksgiving Stomach Bug of 2016 (two more of the kiddos got the bug the next day), we loved having everyone over the celebrate Addison's birthday. Hopefully next year will be better!
