Last Day as a Two Year Old

Last night, we went to eat with the family crowd that remained.
Today, we spent the morning and lunch with the family crowd that remained. I always forget about the panorama option on my phone!
Everyone left but Matt and Sarah and we spent the rest of the afternoon and night playing store {scanning items with Avery Claire's new cash register}, playing school, and coloring.
 
I may have snuck my girl out of bed late tonight and spent a few minutes snuggling her on her last night as a two year old. I'm so proud of the little girl she's becoming and so thankful for every single day, but there is something so bittersweet about her leaving one year behind to grow one year older.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Avery Claire {the party}

We had a princess party today! This little girl has been so excited about her birthday this year. She's asked every day "Is it my birfday daday?"


Avery Claire had such a fun time at her party. We are so thankful for family and friends that drove hours {or minutes} just to come to her birthday party. She's a very loved little girl and very lucky to have such sweet family and friends to spoil her on her special day weekend!

Some "Bunny" is Silly

Today was Avery Claire's Easter party/egg hunt at school. She was so excited about hunting eggs! And getting chocolate, because all holidays involve chocolate, right?!
 

She was just as excited that Nana and Papa were picking her up early from school today. We picked up cake and cupcakes tonight, bought a few more party supplies, and we're getting ready for a princess party tomorrow!!

 

Happy 3rd Birthday {the school party}

This girl started partying today for her birthday next week.

She's been asking for weeks to take cupcakes to school for her birthday. She requested blue ones, but after some reasoning, she decided pink ones would be more appropriate for a princess.

I'm so thankful for a sweet teacher who texts me pictures of special things at school so I get to at least get a glimpse and have a picture for Avery Claire to see one day!
