Avery is Three

Avery turned three on March 11th! The month of March was a busy one around here. The week of her birthday we had quite a few doctor appointments and we were leaving to go out of town on Friday for Spring Break.

I decorated our house with her birthday banner and had her presents set out on a chair when she woke up in the morning. We called daddy and he was able to watch her open her presents. She is very excited and gracious when she opens presents. Every present she opens she loved and she acted like it was the best thing ever!














Playing with her sand in her new Elsa pajamas.



I made ice cream cone cupcakes...at Avery's request and she loved to lick the frosting off of them!



This is the face of a girl who is excited to be having a birthday party at McDonalds. We ate happy meals, the kids played, we sang, opened presents and ate cupcakes. It was fun! It was even great to just pack up the presents and the kids and go home. I didn't clean my house before or after!



I love this picture of Nova and Lydia. They are only two months apart and are looking so grown up!

I didn't really take any pictures of the whole group...maybe I have some on my phone. It was a great birthday! Avery is full of passion and excitement for life. She loves to drive in the cozy coupe car out in the driveway. She loves to color, play with sand and play-doh. She really loves to look at books and read books...a lot! We said goodbye to her pacifier on her 3rd birthday. She has not used one since. She loves to sing and dance and do anything that her older sister is doing. We are working on her problem solving skills...so she doesn't turn into a puddle of mush and sadness and screaming and crying in a matter of moments. She is talking great and loves to play pretend with her sister and friends. She loves baby dolls and playing house. She loves to run and she is pretty fast...I like to watch her hair fly behind her when she takes off. Avery cannot wait to go to Panther Preschool next year!
