Avery's Fourth Birthday Party

This weekend was Avery's fourth birthday party. I can't believe she's four already!! We had a fun party at home and the theme was all of Avery's favorite characters. We sent out Bolt invitations, had a Superdog cake, and a Lightning Mcqueen pinata. Nana and Grandpa and Gramma and Grampa were all in town for the week and we also had a couple of Avery's friends here for the party. The kids all had a fun time at the party running around and playing. Our playroom was unrecognizable when it was all over. And Avery got lots of great presents including the Bat Cave which is what she really wanted. Here are some of the pictures of the festivities.

Christmas 2009

We had such a wonderful Christmas, but I have been having some computer issues so it has taken me a while to share the pictures. The first ones are of Christmas morning at home. Avery just tore in to everything. She opened all of her presents and most of everyone else's in less than an hour. Meanwhile, Sierra didn't want to open anything, she just kept moving all of the presents from one spot to another. The girls got a mini trampoline, which they LOVE! from Nana & Grandpa. Avery also got her Cars race track and an Easy Bake Oven and Sierra got a cute cradle and high chair for her babydolls and lots of Jewelry. We had a fun morning playing with all of their new toys.

Then that afternoon we flew out to Gramma and Grampa's in Pennsyvlania. We had another Christmas morning there. The girls got lots more great presents including everything Zhu Zhu pets! Then we had another Christmas at Great Gramma and Great Grampa's. Phew! (We considered renting a U-haul to get home)

After all that we got to relax. We spent a fun day in Pittsburgh at The Carnegie Science Center. The girls had lots of fun exploring all the cool exhibits and playing around.

They also got to do some sledding. First, Avery went out with the girls next door to Gramma and Grampa who are in 7th grade. She had a blast and she fit right in with them. She's so cool! Then Avery and Sierra went out with their friend Aiden. They all had so much fun! They were just flying down the hill. Aiden almost went into the creek a couple times. Sierra went down the little hill and she loved it. Our whole trip was such a fun time!
