When we asked Avery how old she was last week during the week of her birthday, she replied without hesitation...two double. We have no clue where the "double" part came from, but it was too cute to hear her say that! Avery turned 2 last Thursday; Mimi and Grandpa came down from Cleveland to be with her on her birthday, and then she enjoyed an Elmo extravaganza party on Saturday. All Elmo, everywhere! Nana, Aunt Jen, and I even pulled off Elmo cupcakes and a stellar "Elmo at the Beach" cake. It was a very "Martha Stewart Meets Sesame Street" moment. We were so proud. Avery had a super blast at her party, although she looks rather subdued in the pictures...ha! Avery had many friends in attendance- Addy Finney, Belle and Liv Labrador, Sydney Oliver, Joe and John Taggert, Ruby, Annie, and Jack Zboril, Reece, Raya, Rylee, and Arlynn Rapin, and even new baby Kate Gilmore. They played lots of lovely backyard games, such as "Elmo's Letter Hunt" and "Throw Dorothy the Goldfish (Elmo's BFF) Back Into Her Fishbowl" (AKA cornhole with a fishbowl taped over the holes...The friends also made Elmo masks, and of course, ate Elmo cupcakes. Avery was in heaven. She received many, many amazing gifts- she is such a lucky girl. Thanks to everyone who helped make Avery's birthday so special! :)
