Avery turned 2 on Thursday and I really struggled on if I should have thrown her a Birthday party or just keep it simple and do cake and ice cream with the family. So Nate and I decided that we would just invite Avery's best friend Cooper and her little friend Kaylynn over for a pool party and dinner afterwards. I think it was perfect it wasn't too big and it wasn't so small that it didn't feel special.
Avery's Birthday festivities started on Wednesday night when Nate and I decorated her room by putting balloons all over and then hung streamers up. Nate and I thought we were being so sneaky as we crawled around her room. HA! I was worried that Avery was going to wake up and freak out when she saw the streamers. At 4:30 that's exactly what she did Avery woke up and giggled with delight.
Since Avery was awake and I knew she wasn't going to go back to sleep we decided to go get her so that she could enjoy her room.
This smile says it all! I just love that she has true joy all over that sweet little face.
Nate had to go into work early so we decided that we would let her open a few of her Birthday gifts so she could play with them throughout the day. Avery has been really into Minnie Mouse and so we got her a Minnie Mouse book, and a little Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck that have snap on clothing and accessories. She LOVES them!
Here is the new Minnie Mouse hat, I think the girl would sleep in it if I let her. Yesterday, I took her to the store and she wanted to wear it and when she was walking next to me she ran right into something because she couldn't see out from under it. I know as a mom I shouldn't laugh but I couldn't help it. I hope she grown into it quickly.
Here is the new Minnie Mouse back pack to carry all her Minnie Mouse things. Again, one more thing she cries over when I don't let her bring it with her everywhere. Ugh! She looks so grown up with it on and it reminds me that in just a few years she will be off to school. I am not ready for her to be this big.
Not only is Avery really into Minnie Mouse but she LOVES Tinkerbell as well. I decided that I would try my hand at making her cake. I was really anxious about making the cake and not having it turn out; I know it' s not perfect but it was cute.
Sweet Kaylynn, and her big blue eyes, she tries so hard to keep up with the big kids.

YUM!
Cooper approves
Yes, you did hear Nate's heart break last night because Avery kissed Cooper good night. HA!
