Birthday Party

This past weekend, we went to a friend of Avery's at school birthday party.  I was not to pysced about hanging out with a bunch of adults that I didn't know, but we decided to go because Avery was excited about it.  It turned out to be a good time watching Avery run around and interact with other kids her age.

There were some farm animals for all of the kids to pet and play with.

 Luckily, Avery's Bestest Best Friend from School, Lilly (aka "Lily Bear") was there to hang out and play with Avery.

 A bubble machine... and in the background....

 A bouncy house!!! We didn't get a great picture of her grinning, but trust me it was ear-to-ear.

 More hang time!

At some point there was a mention of cake...  It was time to blow out the candles...  After the candles were blown out, Avery and one of her little friends followed the cake around waiting on it to be cut and served.  I don't think they ever took their eyes off that cake.  They were relentless.  There was no hope of getting any real lunch in her until after that first piece of cake. You can see the eagerness and sadness in this picture as she is waiting on someone to give her a piece of cake.

And somehow she got a sucker out of the goodie bag and opened it in my car...
