And Now She's Two

Happy Birthday to our fun, adorable, lively little girl. Avery turned two a few weeks ago. She was so excited for her party. She found the Elmo cake-pan I had made for Daven when he was two. She carried it around the house for a few days. I decided to make her an Elmo cake. Any time you would ask her, "Avery, is it almost your birthday?" She would say, "ELMO Birthday!" It surprised me she knew what was going on.

We celebrated the Saturday before. Our friends, The Sherwoods were so sweet to come over.
It was a very simple party. We sang Little Bunny Foo-Foo.
Avery loves to "bop them on the head!" This is one of her favorite songs she sings in nursery on Sunday at church.
Pizza Face
Presents! She is still good at unwrapping them!
She got 2 new pairs of flip-flops. She loves shoes, so it is fun to have a choice every morning as to which ones she wants to wear.
The cake....She stayed up with me the night before to "help" ha-ha. She sat right next to me the whole time. I gave her a little frosting to play with. Mike kept asking if she wanted to go to bed and she adamantly told us, "No, I wan help mommy!" It was fun to have a little helper and someone that was so excited about her cake.
I can't believe she is two. She's adorable. She pulled a classic two-year old stunt before the party. She had picked out a different party dress. We had her dressed and a bow to match in her hair. Five minutes before the party, she freaked out and had a wardrobe change. I have to laugh. How could she care what she wore to her party? She is the most independent thing I've ever met.
Sorry, Tia if the red frosting stained anything. I guess some of the kids liked the cake :)


And this is her new pink cup and tinkerbell plate from her grandma. We had to put them away as soon as she opened them. If they are clean, this is what she wants to use. I guess drinking from pink cups is far superior to other colors. We just roll with it.
