Ok, one day I will blog about more than just babies and birthdays, but until then......
We have a THREE year old!!
I am not going to say that the time has flown by, or that I can't believe Avery is 3, or even wallow in the fact that she is my baaaaaaby.
Because for the first time, it just isn't true! This year has gone by pretty slow (until you break down all that has happened....), and Avery is such a spunky kid that chatters your ear off ALL DAY LONG, it is amazing to me that she is just NOW three.
She is pure attitude and all sass!! Gone are the things that make me want to call her a baby, and here to stay is a 100% diva!
Look how she has grown over the past year:
We have spent the weekend celebrating her birthday and really just celebrating HER.....even her sassy pants attitude!
We started out with making cupcakes for her group of friends at church. I have Bible study on Thursdays, and her birthday fell on a Thursday this year, so they had a little party for her!
She LOVES to help in the kitchen!!
Then she got to open presents at home later in the day. One thing she got.....this little play hair set that she refers to as her "dress ups". She sat for two hours "fixing" her hair!!
She also did a few 'dos for Daddy!
The family came over for dinner that night. Avery picked the menu (mac and cheese, salad.....yes, she loves salad!, grapes, tomatoes, and pickles) and we got to sing her Happy Birthday.
She looks forward to the song more than any other part of a birthday celebration!
More presents.....including a Sophia princess dress that she wore the entire next day.
......ALL day!! Landon was having a project day with Grandpa, so Avery and I just hung out and did girly things. Dress up, hair 'dos, dress up, a movie, dress up, and maybe a little dress up.
Then the big party capped off the weekend festivities. We decided to push the easy button this year and let her pick a place, the people, and the snacks.
She was more than happy to oblige!
Avery picked Fun Run, a bouncy house and indoor play area with a "Sophia the First" theme (anyone surprised??).
All her little friends came and they just ran and ran for a couple hours, breaking for cake, of course!
She loved that she got to sit by her boyfriend, Hudson....
......and boyfriends Chad and Liam as well. Maybe Adam should start getting a little worried......
Happy THIRD birthday Aves!! We love you......SO much!
