Somehow, Avery turned five this year. Clearly we fell into some sort of time warp or something, because it doesn't seem possible that five years have passed since she burst onto the scene. Despite my denial, we were so happy to have Liz and Meghan, and Granddad and Marguerite in town to help us celebrate. She has asked me to report that she had a great birthday and she's having fun being five.

| Avery's last day as a four-year-old. |
 |
| Enjoying special birthday pancakes. |
 |
| Given the choice of what to do on her birthday, my girl picked the beach of course! |
 |
| Her two favorite birthday presents. |
 |
| Opening some presents. |
 |
| Given her choice for dinner, Avery picked the Japanese place. Our chef got in on the birthday fun. |
 |
| Mason remembered that at this restaurant they throw shrimp for you to catch in your mouth. And he sat there like this until it was that time in the show. |
 |
| After the whole room sang happy birthday to Avery, she got to ring the gong and rub Buddha's belly for good luck. |
 |
| Mason took Granddad for a walk while Daddy pulled the car around. |
 |
| Blowing out the candles on her strawberry cake (and also blocking Mason from encroaching on her candle blowing). |
 |
| When birthday hugs attack... |
 |
| Who's going to sleep tonight? Not these kids! |
