A Happy Number 2

As most of you probably know, Avery's second birthday was on Monday. It was a wonderful weekend filled with fun and relaxation that couldn't have been any better. I think Avery had fun too. What made it extra nice was that Gma Ollig was able to come for the party and stay for a nice weekend. As you can see, the two of them were best buddies this weekend.

I really cannot believe that it has been two years but I guess it's true. Or at least that's what Avery keeps telling me. I am sure from the next picture that you can guess the theme of the party. Starts with Strawberry and ends with Shortcake.
I can assure you that she read EVERY birthday card! As you can see here, that took a lot out of her. She held in there thought, afterall there was cake waiting for her upstairs.
Special Request: The Renslows requested a picture of her opening her card from them. ...there you go.
Had to put this one on here because it reminded me of a picture from her first birthday. Don't have time to look for it now but in the near future I will do a before and after for you. Kinda like Bro +1.5 does at work. I'll explain later.
Had to have a picture of the cake. She's been talkin about it for 4 weeks!
We spent the last day of Gma's visit at Deanna Rose Farmstead. A great city park with all sorts of farm animals for the kids to interact with. We had a great time.
Not sure what they were looking at but it sure was interesting.
We sure love those goats. And this one loved the metal fence.
She had to wait for her actual birthday on Monday for this present since Dad built it and I was too slow to finish it for the party on Saturday. She loved it all the same.
She also loved the bubbles she got.
The whole weekend made her so happy she made Mom dance with her in the front yard. Might as well let the whole world know how happy you are...Well, at least those people lucky enough to be driving by our house at the time.

We had a great time. Miss Avery is an excellent hostess, making sure the party is inclusive of all her "people".
