My sweet girl! I cannot believe you are 2!!! You are such big stuff, for a tiny little thing. Short and Sassy! You know how to hold your own around here, and you are also not afraid to voice your opinion. You are smart, funny, and oh so serious! You always know when to make us laugh, and man can you make us laugh! You also are the most empathetic baby! Any time anyone is hurt, or sad, you run to them, and make sure they are ok. If they have an owie you kiss it better, if they are just upset you give them a hug, if they are sulking well then you sit next to them with your little arm around them and rub their back! There is no one like you my sweet child. I pray you keep your sweet, empathetic spirit! What a joy and a blessing you are to our family!
We got to spend your 2nd birthday at Mimi and Papaw's house! Just like we have been able to do with your big siblings. Oh man did you have fun-although being my more serious child you did run off to play by yourself several times. I think the amount of people there may have been a little overwhelming for you! Of course your party was HUGE! Lots of friends and family came to celebrate YOU! We celebrated with a huge brunch! Of course because Mimi was in charge of the food, we knew it was going to be good! And she didn't let us down!!
Your cute watermelon bowl that Mimi made!
Momma got to make you a cupcake cake! You LOVE cupcakes, so we figured this was the perfect way to make sure you got cupcakes! We of course had to shape it like a princess dress, being that you are such the little princess! And it HAD to be purple. Your new favorite color. Not sure if that was put on you by big sister or not, but you seem content in knowing it is YOUR color. You definitely make sure we all know anything purple MUST belong to you, because who else could have something in your color!

Mmmmm...yummy!
Time for presents! You are a spoiled and loved little girl! There were so many presents for you to open! You loved them all! You got lots of stuff for your baby doll (your new favorite toy), and were so excited! You also got coloring stuff, little people, clothes, jammies, underwear, dress up stuff, a rolling backpack (another favorite!). When all was said and done, you were tired and definitely ready for a nap-of course after you tried out and opened all of your new toys! What a pleasure it was to have all of our friends and family there to help us celebrate you being you! We love you sweet girl and cannot wait to watch you continue to grow! We pray you will grow to love the Lord, and continue to throw us all into giggle fits, and keep caring about others!
Happy Birthday Avery!
