Happy 3rd Birthday Avery!

Well, we officially have a 3 year old on our hands.  And she is everything we have been warned about.... active, energetic, pushes the limits, tests our patience, sassy, loving, kind, caring, and just wonderful.  Avery is an awesome kid and continues to make her dad and I very proud.  She is courageous, funny, super smart, friendly, and a fantastic big sister.  (Don't get me wrong, she has her moments...)

We celebrated her birthday starting the moment she woke up.  We had left a trail of presents from her room to the basement where her "big one" was waiting.  She started with a present from Ryen- a Mike Wazowski to go with her Sully.

 Then Dave and I gotten her a bunch of princess dresses....

and all 10 Disney princess dolls.  (There is going to be a theme here with all her presents.... see if you can pick up on it)

Then, we took Ryen to her godparents' house for the day while we spent the day with Avery.  After the park it was off to Green Gables for lunch.  This has become a tradition the last couple years and we love it, so we will make sure this continues!

This past Saturday we had her birthday party for family and some of our friends.  The weather was so nice and the kids ran around in their swim suits, were in and out of the pool, and played so well together.

One of Avery's presents was a set of 5 princess dresses, including headbands, shoes and accessories.

Grandpa and Grandma G. gave her a Princess Sophia dress!

And Auntie Ashley and Uncle Patrick gave her a Merida dress from the movie Brave....complete with her own bow and arrow set.  :)

It was a great day and we are thankful for all who came to celebrate with her.

Yep, this silly girl was here too!

Happy Birthday sweet girl.  We love you so much and are so proud to call you our daughter.  We can't wait to see what this year brings us!
