Avery is 3!

Saying that Avery loved pink and princesses would be a serious understatement. So Michael and I decorated the house in pink from the living room to the bathrooms so this little girl would be excited and feel special. She couldn't keep a smile off of her face. Every new room she walked into she just giggled. We decided to throw Avery a little party with all her neighbor friends. When asked what kind of party she of course wanted a princess party, especially a "Simbrella" party. So that is what we did! Here us Princess Avery (and L) in the castle.
Here's the whole party crowd after they made their crowns. The girls got jewelry and the boys got a sword and shield.
Here's the babies eating their lunch. Aren't they cute! They acted like the big kids and just sat there and ate. Pierson was a serious champ at the party. He was so good it was as if he wasn't even there.
Here's the rest of the kids eating their lunch. They called it princess (and prince) pizza. Yum!
Here is the Cinderella cake. She's got really big hips from all that cake!
I kept the cake a secret from Avery and she was so excited when she saw it. It makes a mom feel good when her little girl loves something she worked hard on :)
Here is Avery blowing (or should I say trying to blow) out her candles. She was afraid of getting too close to them to blow them out. Silly girl.
Here is one last shot of the cake before cutting it. It was kind of sad when I had to cut into it so I asked for one last picture. The kids though it was funny that they were eating Cinderella's skirt and kept giggling about eating her underwear... oh dear.

Avery had so much fun opening her gifts. She is one lucky girl! Here's the party oowing and aawing over the last gift.
Here is Avery sporting her loot. She either got puppies or Cinderella gifts. She was in heaven.

Avery with all her presents. Thank you friends for a wonderful birthday. Avery kept quoting the line from Cinderella, "Thank you, thank you so much for everything." It was really cute.
Here's the family after the party. Saturday really was such a great day. Avery and Pierson went down for naps easily and then were happy when they woke up. We had a yummy dinner and played around then the kids went down for bed easily again. I seriously couldn't have asked for a better day :)





Oh and for breakfast Avery wanted bread, with nothing on it and not cooked. Sounds exciting, right?
