6th birthday

This weekend Avery turned 6. She was so excited to finally be 6….

The morning was “Avery & Mom Time” and the afternoon was “Dad & Avery Time.” We let her pick what she wanted to do all day- with options. After our sugary breakfast we went Home Depot to build a flower pot seat, and got a drink too.

We had time to waste, so I took her to Payless in hopes of finding some shoes. She did find one pair, on clearance for $11 (regularly $26!). Since it was B1G1 1/2 off, we threw in a necklace too. The plan was to share the necklace…

After lunch Avery and Dan took off. Her choice- Chuck E Cheese! Dan bought her a card to use on what ever she wanted. When the card was empty she chose to head over to her friends birthday party. I am really glad she chose to go there instead of doing something else.

Sawyer and I met up with Avery and Dan at the softball fields. We had our last makeup game. We lost by 2 in the last inning- boo!

Avery told us she had a great birthday. I am glad! This next week we’ll be finalizing the plans for her birthday party. We love parties!!
