Avery's 2nd Birthday and MORE!

It is hard for us to believe that our baby girl is 2!!  Avery is such a spunky, funny, energetic delight, and we can't imagine our lives without her! 

 

The birthday girl!

 

 

 

Birthday bubble fun!

Isn't it present time?

 

 

 

 

Avery sleeps with Bunny and Tino every night.  She love, love, LOVES dogs, so I had to use her favorite as the model for her birthday cake.  Meet Tino!

We took Aunt MJ to Tugboat Park!

It turns out she is an expert at making sand castles.

Don't worry, Alli, someday we will have kayaks, too (we hope).

Talking to Daddy on the phone!

 

Alli is officially in her second year of preschool, and it is going great!

 

 

Coloring with Mia Mouse! :)

 

 

It's a Dr. Seuss train! 

 

 

Playing the Pinkalicious game with Papa and Mamo!  I believe they are a hopscotch train! :) 

 

Princess Abby and Princess Alli!

 

 

And then it was time...  Picture Time.  Time to capture Alli's 4-year photo and Avery's 2-year photo... and (hopefully) one of the two girls together.  (We all know how well that usually goes, don't we?)  Did I mention that I was planning on doing this in one take?  In the past, it's taken several, but not this time; I was determined to get at least one good photo of each of them in record time.  Well, I captured the following pictures in about 15 minutes....

 

 

 

I'd say MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.  Wouldn't you agree?
