Steve was due home from the Philippines the weekend of her birthday, and she was having her procedure on her teeth the next Friday, so we played it safe and scheduled her party for the next weekend. She opened presents from us on her birthday, and we went to American Village to ride the Ferris Wheel (her request....sorry, forgot to bring my camera there again!).
Opening presents from us!
We got Noah a James train (he LOVES Thomas the train) so he wouldn't feel left out. He took that thing into his room and was there the whole time Avery opened her presents!
Lots of excitement and jumping around!
She was all smiles all day.=)
Notice our dehumidifier in the background? We have two of those huge things in our house, and they fill up 3-4 times a day! It's crazy humid here...
Modeling her new gorgeous dress from our Japanese neighbors.
Rocking out with the barbie guitar she was wishing on the star for each night.=)
Avery's party at Xystus....I tried to decorate even though the party room was already on color overload...
Asian pasta salad, my regular pasta salad, grapes, chips (in the brown bags...I forgot the dip at home...), rice krispy treat pops dipped in pink chocolate with sprinkles, skittles, and white chocolate raspberry cheesecake (her request!). The party favors were little dora books with suckers in a little basket behind the drinks (you can't see them).
Singing the birthday song to her...
Going off on a tangent here, but do you notice her two front teeth are gone? She had to get them pulled just a week before this party because she fell on them when she was 16 months old. It was becoming infected behind them. She had to be put down with anesthesia, but she was a trooper. It was a long day for her and I, starting at 6 in the morning, but she didn't shed one tear. It all went really smoothly.
Posing with her gifts. Happy 4th Birthday, Avery. We love you.
