4th Birthday Party

We celebrated Avery's 4th bday Princess Rapunzel style with all of her little girlfriends and our family. Avery is mildly obsessed with all things Tangled and Rapunzel so I was determined to make it a party to remember for her! It was lots of fun!

Avery checking out some of the decor before the party. She was so excited!










Aunt Gina braided her hair like Rapunzel and she was so proud:)

When the girls got there, they got dressed up and Avery gave them a tiara to wear:)
 Then they colored pictures of Rapunzel and Pascal

 Next part was the most fun, I covered a wall with paper and let the girls paint the wall just like Rapunzel did in her tower. They loved it! 



Then we played a few games. The balloon popping was a hit! The girls picked an 'apple' and popped it and prized came out. A great pinterest idea :)




 Pin the crown on Rapunzel!



 Singing to the birthday girl


 "Best Day Ever" is something Rapunzel says. That night before bed, Avery told me it really was her best day ever. Melted me!
Opening her presents

 Opening her gift from little sister. So sweet!
 My two little princesses! Avery picked Addy out a Rapunzel dress to wear at her party:)

 Happy 4th Birthday Avery! You will always be our little princess!!

Aug. 14th

Can't believe my baby is FOUR! It can't be true that it has really been 4 whole years since they placed a sweet baby bundle in my arms who changed my life forever. I can tell this is going to be such a fun age! Avery is such a big girl now and I'm soaking her in as much as I can before all her 'babyness' is gone. We celebrated her on her real birthday and it was so special.  She knows the difference now between her party and her actual birthday. She got to pick everything we did that day and she loved every second. She also really enjoyed all the phone calls and cards from family that day. She is so loved. Her requests were: Chic Fil A for lunch, The Disney Store to look around, Carousel ride and a pretzel from the mall. Girl knows what she wants, cracks me up! Sweet memories!!

We filled her room with balloons after she fell asleep the night before her birthday. She was so excited to wake up to them. 

 Bday pancakes!
 Opening her gift from Mommy and Daddy and baby sis

 Little poser at the mall
 The Disney Store, always a fav!
The Carousel! 



 Finally enjoying that pretzel she thought about all day:)

1st Birthday Party

We had a great party celebrating our sweet Adalyn's 1st birthday. I could hardly believe what we were celebrating the whole time! Can't believe my baby is one! We celebrated with family and it was such a special evening for our precious one year old. She loved the cake, presents, and all the attention. The theme was "Adalyn's Sweet Shoppe" which was fitting because she's so sweet:)







The infamous monthly pics with the bear
