Avery's 2!

Our littlest girl is TWO!!! I can hardly believe it, time really does fly. We had a little family celebration complete with soccer games, a little drama, a minor concussion, a bit of devastation, and a whole lot of fun. Avery woke up to our favorite family tradition...breakfast in bed, we didn't actually let her eat it there since she is practically our messiest child yet, but at least we started there. She was thrilled! We had been telling her that her Birthday was coming for a while and the excitement had been mounting. We watched conference while we decorated cake and hung balloons. Just before our soccer outing daddy took the kids to Target to pick up the ice cream for our little party later and Kamrie fell face first out of the Kart (details to come in a later post), this is where the minor concussion comes in. The soccer games were a little windy and Avery was restless because it was nap time but it was 84 degrees, which always makes me smile. After a long nap, "the girl" was ready for some fun. We took her to build a bear, where we built bears, had a ball , and lost our camera...this is where the devastation comes in. The pictures of this wonderful event have probably been deleted by the meanie who decided their money was far more important than my precious memories, oh well...we came home found another camera that could document the rest of the day and continued on with the party.



A Robbins' must...Heavy, heavy hangover Avery is obsessed with Tangled. She is not a real movie girl but this one struck her fancy. Caden knew she couldn't live without "Punzel" so he and Kamrie made sure it made the birthday pile.
This one is hilarious...the pain on Kam's face makes me so sad.

The awesome "fancy shoes" from Grandma and Grandpa Robbins

Trying to master the peddling skill...











The blowing of the candles did not come easy, there is not much air in that little tiny body of hers. It took several tries but she finally got it.


And the excitement!


Waiting for the best part.


Avery is so much fun! She brings mounds of happiness to our little family. I'm not going to lie, the frustration of a two year old is there but there is so much cuteness and fun you almost forget(sometimes). Her "kids" love her and she adores them just as much. She has more smarts than she needs and just the right amount of sass to make it all bearable. We can't imagine life without her! We love you Ave.

Happy Birthday to Avery! I have to tell you the exact thing happened to my little boy as your little Kamrie. One of the most terrifying days of my life. I am glad she seems to be okay.
