Birthday Parties

Since the kids in her class are grouped by age we have been on a recent run of birthday parties and seemingly have them lined up for the next couple of months.

First up a trip to Monkey Joe's in Matthews.  (Avery insisted on the band-aid to cover her bump from hitting the table leg because she spun around and got dizzy)

 And her BFF Lily Bear!

The birthday boy is at the head of the table in his Darth Vader costumer.  They all waited very patiently for pizza and Avery really enjoyed his chocolate Star Wars cake.

 She also had a party at the local YMCA where they had a great play area.  This is a "cat and mouse" game with the parachute.  Avery is the cat.

 Our brave girl on the rings.

 A foam pit for kids?  When I saw this picture, I was jealous of Laura taking this trip; although there are no pics of Laura doing a back flip into the pit.  She was too busy chatting it up with the other moms about dance class and starting kindergarten and which kid sleeps the latest on the weekends.

 Avery is getting better and better about eating things (not as much crying involved).  We can almost count cheese pizza in her list of foods.  Thank you birthday parties.
