So this past Saturday, we celebrated Avery Jean's second birthday. We had the grandparents and Stephanie over for some food, cake, and to spoil a special little toddler.
Just in case you are new to the blog (Welcome to our blog strange newcomer!), Avery's favorite cartoon is the Little Einsteins. It drives her life. She has a plush rocket that is one of her favorite toys.
So while Avery was taking her nap on Saturday, we hung up balloons, put cutouts of the characters and Rocket on the walls, and picked up her cake. The look on her face was worth it all.
We got the cake from Edible Art and they did an awesome job of making her a rocket cake.
Avery and her Rocket cake. There was a bit of trepidation when we cut the cake, but Avery handled it well. She didn't eat a bite of it and was happy to play with the paper cutouts.
Quite a bit of difference in this little princess since last year. This picture just strikes me as her looking quite a bit older than how I picture her in my mind... I guess she is just getting older... Rocking her new sunglasses on top of her head like mommy, carrying her Einsteins DVD from Gigi and Ru.
She got a xylophone from Mimi and Papa.
This was what we got her. When I was putting it together she came up to me and said "Rocket?" We didn't really think of this when we picked it out but we went with it... I said, "I have to fix rocket and put him together. You can ride it tomorrow on your birthday." Laura took her for a bath and she came downstairs and was concerned about where Rocket was and if I had fixed him. Needless to say, she had a great time getting pulled around the neighborhood pretending to be in Rocket.
bullet dodged by you guys... cutting up rocket and eating him could have scared her for life
