She's TWO {the party}

Today, we celebrated Avery Claire's 2nd birthday!! We had family and friends come over to celebrate our girl with us.

I can't take credit for much of the decorations....Nana did a lot of it. Thanks, Nana, for all of your help {and your dishes!}.

I sent a picture of Avery Claire's birthday outfit to Wendy Weeks {I teach with her daughter, Anna}, and she matched the cake to the outfit perfectly!

She loves for us to sing "Happy Birthday," but she wasn't sure about so many people singing it to her while she was trying to figure out that candle.

Love that face! Anytime we talk about a party and we tell her there will be cake, she asks "and cheeps?" She has a taste for salty things!

This year, she needed NO help opening her gifts. She is a very loved little girl, and everyone knew exactly what she would love..."trop-trops" {flip flops}, clothes, a baby bed, a buggy, books, a backpack, chapstick, bubbles, and money for "MawMart" {and for her college fund!}. She seriously needed nothing, but she has thoroughly enjoyed every thing she got! Thanks, everyone, for spoiling our girl!

The girl LOVES trop-trops. I mean really, really, really loves them. I see her eyeing people's feet when we are talking to someone or when we're out somewhere to see what kind of shoes they have on. She points out other who are wearing flip flops. It's so funny. It's hard to talk her into wearing anything else. She received no less than 10 new pair of trop-trops for her birthday. Every time she'd open more, she'd say "moe trop-trops!!"

Emma, Avery Claire had so much fun playing with you at her party! We are so glad you came to celebrate with us. Avery Claire's Papa still feels bad about scaring you {and everyone else in the garage!}!!!

I did not make her birthday outfit. Lots of people asked. I am not that talented....yet! :-) I did make the rosettes on her headband, if that counts for something!

Thanks, everyone, for celebrating and loving our sweet girl! We know it's a long drive to make just so we can celebrate at our house, but we appreciate it and so does she!
