I'm not sure how it's possible...but our sweet little Avery turned 9!
Her actual birthday fell on Mother's Day this year (lucky me!),
so we celebrated her birthday all weekend long.
She had some friends spend the night on Friday....
Kelsey, Bailey and Hannah....
We had pizza for dinner. (Avery's choice!)
Annalise got to have her buddy Ella over, too! (This worked out well for EVERYONE!)
After dinner, Avery wanted to tie-dye t-shirts. She was able to tell Mark ahead of time what she wanted and he designed and printed them for her. They turned out great!!!
BEFORE.....
And AFTER.....
Then Avery opened presents and the girls had ice cream sundaes.....
The girls didn't stay up TOO late....they watched a movie and played some games. The next morning they played in their "secret spot" outside near the creek for a while before it was time to go home.
Their shirts faded a little in the wash...but they still looked cool and everyone was still smiling!
Saturday was also Avery's last soccer game. And even though she couldn't play with her cast, she wanted to be there for the last game. Both to cheer the girls on and to celebrate her birthday with cupcakes for the team! (She was just a LITTLE tired after the sleepover!!!)
We figured that dinner out the night BEFORE Mother's Day might be a touch less busy,
so she chose her usual....Olive Garden! :) No complaints from anyone here!!!
And the day of her ACTUAL birthday....she got to open her presents.....
And we shared a Birthday/Mother's Day Grasshopper Pie from Baskin-Robbins!
Happy Birthday Avery!
We love you so very much and are so proud of the lovely young lady you are becoming.
You make us smile and bring such joy to our lives each and every day.
