3 years old!

So Avery's birthday was last month... better late than never!

We decided to celebrate Avery's birthday this year early just in case I ended up having a baby early ( my due date was less than a week from Avery's birthday).  I wasn't up for a big party (being pregnant and all), but I did want to have a day to celebrate her.  We decided to invite a few of her little friends and spend a day at her favorite park.  We had her favorite foods...pizza, popsicles and cupcakes.

I thought these ice cream cupcakes were cute!  However, they are hard to eat and the kids just licked off the frosting.  They were good though...I made a strawberry butter cream frosting with confetti cake and a chocolate ganache and chocolate cake.

I didn't take many pictures, but here are a few of her having fun.  Even though her party wasn't a big deal like I usually like to make them...she had a blast.  She loved opening her gifts from her friends... and still talks about her birthday and the park :)

 On her actual birthday, she woke up early and we opened grandma and grandma Browns gift and gave her our gift. 
Rand made her this and she LOVES it

 

After dinner we had brownies and ice cream to celebrate.  We decided not to do a cake this year and do brownies and ice cream instead- Avery's favorite.  We sang to her and she got to blow out the candle.

We love this girl!  Happy 3rd birthday Avery!
