HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY

June 9th / 18th - I can't believe my baby is already 3 years old. It seems like just yesterday that she was born. Avery has been so excited about her birthday. For weeks she has talked about who was coming to her party - first it was Santa Clause and then the Easter Bunny and back to Santa.

On Thursday the 9th my Mom, David and I took cupcakes to her school and had a cake after dinner. This was the first year she was able to blow out her candles.

Avery loved the cupcakes.

Our ladybug cupcakes.

On Saturday the 18th we had a princess party with family. My Grandma, sister and I made her a princess cake that she LOVED. She got to wear a new dress and wear a crown. What more could a girl want?

Avery took the barbie figure out of the cake and licked all the icing off. My girl likes her sweets.

The princess cake we made. It was yummy and turned out great I must say.

BABY BROTHER

End of May / first of June (time seems to be flying by so I'm not quite sure of the exact timing) -People keep asking me about my pregnancy in front of Avery so David and I decided it was time to tell her she was going to be a big sister. I feared her reaction for days but she surprised us and took it really well. She seemed to be really excited. Now she tells baby brother good night and always wants to hug and kiss him. I'm not quite sure she understands that baby brother is actually going to join us in a couple of months but I guess we will deal with that when the time comes.
