Avery’s birthday fell on a Tuesday this year, and Tuesdays are usually pretty busy around here because that’s Chris’ class night. Thank goodness her birthday also usually will take place near Presidents’ Day. Daddy enjoys that day off from work.
So the three of us celebrated her birthday together on Monday. While Chris and I had our tax returns completed, Avery spent some time with Mommaw Clark. Then Avery chose to eat lunch at Applebee’s. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch, and Daddy even splurged for a birthday dessert. After a well-deserved nap, Avery opened her presents from us.
She got this Strawberry Shortcake play set. (This probably is her new favorite show.)
We’ve desperately needed some better storage for Avery’s toys, so we got her this pretty pastel storage shelf.
After Avery played with her first hula hoop a few months ago, she was in love. We had to get her one for her birthday. She can’t use the hula hoop as it was designed, so she plays with it in her own way.
While Chris is in class on Tuesday nights, Avery and I usually have dinner and playtime with my parents. So we kept our usual schedule, and Aunt Karen also joined us for Avery’s birthday.
Grandma Hromada made these yummy cupcakes, and Avery decorated them. Can you tell?
I promise that Avery didn’t eat all five cupcakes! She just blew out the candles.
Just before bedtime, Avery and I called Mommaw and Poppaw Clark so they could talk to their sweetie on her birthday.
It’s hard to believe another birthday is in the record books. Happy birthday to our beautiful 3-year-old princess!
