Avery Kate turns 2!

Yes, we're still here! I just haven't taken the time lately to sit down and post. Well, we've been busy lately, with the lates event Avery's second birthday. I can't believe she's two...these years have flown by! Well, Avery loves "Mimmy", so of course we had to do a Minnie Mouse party. I decided I wanted to make her cake this year, so I enlisted my mother-in-law's help. She has every you need to make any kind of cake, and taught me how to make a really good buttercream icing! We spend most of Saturday making Avery's cake. It was lots of fun, but lots of work too!
My mom and dad came in Saturday evening, and gave Avery her present early-- a cozy coupe car! I'll have to post a pic of it later...she loves it! Sunday, my uncle, and brother and sis-in-law came into town for the party. After a church and lunch, we came home to get ready for the party! Avery had aunts, uncles, great aunts, grandparents, great grandparents, and some friends over..we had a full house! Avery had a special Minnie Mouse dress, complete with her own "ears" to wear....we had minnie ears for everyone else to wear too! Avery received lots of fun gifts...a cash register, books, dolls, clothes, and lots of other fun stuff. She had so much fun running around with her friends. They got to sit at their own kiddie table that Shaun and I got for Avery. My good friends from Mt. Vernon, Anna and Kelsi brought their little girls over...Kelsi's daughter Taylor and Avery are in the same class at preschool, and they have had to be separated at naptime for talking! Hahah, sounds like how Kelsi and I were in school! Brook, Scott, Ella and Eric were able to come too. It was so good to see them; Avery has missed her friends! After much cake, M&M's, and running around playing with friends, Avery zonked out on Aunt Erin's shoulders. It was such a fun day! We love you Avery, what a blessing you have been to us!

my blogger likes to post my pics backwards...oops!
