Our baby turned 2!

Last weekend we celebrated Avery's 2nd birthday. It's hard to believe that she was born in our home 2 years ago. The time has gone by so quickly, but at the same time it feels as if she has been with us forever. She brings joy to our hearts every day.

Some of our favorite things about Avery:

She says "I like.....Pizza." And says the Pizza part really loud!

She loves to hug and kiss her brother's and sisters.

She is super affectionate.

She smiles with her nose crinkled up and her eyes squinted.

When she wants to be held, she holds her hands up and says, "hold you, hold you."

She has 2 pinkies (things she sleeps with) and now she has decided that she doesn't like one of them and she says "don't like, don't like" and throws it out of the bed.

She is bi-lingual and talks Spanish as well as she does English.

When we pray, she bows her heads and squints her little eyes closed until we are done.

She is just precious in every sense of the word.

Here are some pictures from her special day last week. Try to guess which one is her fiance?

And yes, I made the cakes - a first for me. Usually we order them from Publix, but there is no Publix here.

We did a special little Milkshake party. We made these cute little menus and made homemade milkshakes for everyone. It was a ton of fun!
