Avery's 3rd Birthday Bash

Avery had been looking forward to her birthday for weeks, and when it was all said and done, she was not disappointed. We had a few of her friends over for brunch and birthday cake, and lots of jumping in the "jumpy jump house." I think everybody had a blast -- I know Avery sure did! Mommy and Daddy, however, were exhausted. Phew! Here are some highlights of the day...

Jumping!

More jumping. I should mention that it was HOT, and even hotter in the jump house. So everyone is a little sweaty and disheveled in all the pics. Shoes were broken, hair bows were lost... but it sure was fun!

Ring around the rosey.

Even Mason got in on the action.

Sibs.


A rare moment when Mommy was not wielding the camera. (And yes, I got in the jump house. Those things are fun!)

Taking a break from jumping to blow some bubbles.



Cake time! Six little girls waiting patiently...


Avery was very specific about her cake. She requested chocolate cake with blue frosting and pink flowers.  The "cake lady" did a great job with our random order. Somehow I didn't get a closeup pic of just the cake -- this is as good as it gets. It was very cute. 

This was the only time it got quiet.



The girl is serious about her cake. Note that she ate all the icing first.


After all her friends went home and she took a much-needed (for everyone) nap, it was time to open presents!

Playing with her new CD player. Who knew she had her own little flash mob planned?




Then she had to go outside to find her present from Mommy and Daddy.


All geared up and ready to ride! 



Editor's Note: The jump house was Chris's idea. I didn't think we needed it. He insisted, and ordered it himself. He was right; I was wrong. There, I said it. =)
