Happy 4th Birthday Avery Lou!

Happy Birthday Big Girl! You are the one who made me a mama. You are the one who made me realize just how wonderful life can be. I love you with all that I am. You are my sparkle and my shine...my whole world. I love you! Full Birthday post to come, but for now, here are some cell snaps of your birthday night! I'm terrible that I didn't have my camera out tonight. Avery has her party in a few days, and I promise, I will take lots of pics! Tonight she had her choice of whatever she wanted to do. She chose to go to eat at The Fishtale! She loves that restaraunt because she likes the canoes! :) It was also Harper's first trip out to eat! All went well and we had a blast. When we came home, Nana and Papa came over and you opened presents, and we had our homemade cake. It was a perfect night, but I can't wait for her party on Saturday!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! It was Harper's first Halloween..and tomorrow my big girl will be 4!! What?!!! How on EARTH did that happen??? While I'm not a huge Halloween lover, it holds a special place in my heart because that was the day I that I sort of went into labor with Avery :) I didn't really realize at the time it was labor, but low and behold...2 days later she was born!! Anyway, I decided not to subject Harper to shoving her in some uncomfortable outfit that she couldn't move in. Avery and I found a super cute little kitty onesie with a cute hat a few months ago while we were shopping, so I've had that stashed away. She didn't go trick or treating with her big sister this year, but Avery did have a little Halloween celebration Friday night at her school, so Harper went to that with us. It was our first big outing since she was born really. I had her wrapped up close to me in my Moby wrap and she mostly slept, so all was good! No germs go to my girl!

Avery played games, and even got to dance, so she was pumped! Avery decided that she wanted to be a bride this year. Seems fitting, since my girl is obsessed with all things wedding right now! She was very particular about her costume though. It had to sparkle, not have sleeves, and touch the floor! I was already to order the Cinderella dress from the Disney store, but thank goodness I showed her first, as it didn't touch the floor. So...I scored a cheap flower girl dress online, and it is PERFECT!! My girls loves it. I love watching her light up when she puts it on. Though each time she does, I flash forward to what her real wedding might be like someday! Hopefully she's getting all of her bridezilla tendencies out now! Anyway, it was a good Halloween. Cullen took Avery out last night, and then they came home and we all ventured over to Nana and Papa's, and that was that! Happy Halloween 2011!
