I can't believe my little girl is 5 years old.
If I could say 5 things I love most about Avery, it would be.....
1) Her contagious giggle and her strong personality
2) Her motherly instincts when it comes to her baby brother
3) That her best friend is her big brother
4) That she loves to cook with me and she's my very best helper
5) She is the GREATEST daughter a mom could have
The morning started early with Kaden, Brighton and Connor making the final touches on the infamous "birthday sign"
And then (as per request from the birthday girl), Breakfast in Bed!!
Now, Avery is not much for being patient when there are surprises... so she insisted on opening all of her presents before 8:30 am when Kade and Brian had to leave for school and work.
As you can see... this girl LOVES her shoes!
and her princess barbie dolls....
The difficulty of being five years old and having your birthday done by 8:30 in the morning is that you have all day long to realize all the fun is over. Avery told me that she wished she would have gotten more presents that she REALLY wanted. When I asked her what she wanted, she had to think and think and think and think... then she said, "uhhhhhh... a light up yo-yo" WHAT??? A YO-YO??? That girl just wanted more presents. Luckily she's having a birthday party with her friends tomorrow.
The day wasn't all that boring though... she had plenty of other great birthday events.
She got extra special attention at school as well as got to go out to each with just mom and Kaden at the Spaghetti Factory for dinner. It was a pretty cool day.
