She's six. SIX! We're talking big kid status over here. Five was a big deal, but I can't shake the feeling that turning six was an even BIGGER deal. Maybe it has to do with the fact that she's now in kindergarten and doing a bunch of big kid after school activities. Maybe it's because she matured a lot recently and now has more big kid tendencies than little kid ones. (Believe me, I know she's still "little," but this is all about perspective...my perspective! And believe me, she's not all big kid -- there's still plenty of little kid stuff going on with her, but I can see the shift happening...and I welcome it with open arms!)
Below is her six year interview, as well as some pictures from her birthday festivities.
Since Avery's birthday was on a Saturday this year, she celebrated on Friday with her kindergarten class.
Her birthday morning - this was just after she saw the streamers and presents. Pure happiness.
One of her gifts was a cheer outfit!
Now that she's six, she can ride the big kid cars on the big kid track. She was stoked, to say the least.
Oh, Claire.
Oh, Claire!!
Danda and Papa spent most of the day with us at Legoland!
That's a big kid over there, if I do say so myself.
We let Avery pick out one thing from Legoland as a gift. Legos for the win!
On Sunday we went to the American Girl store in LA with Danda and GramCin!
She LOVED it.
When we got home from the American Girl store we had a little party with friends and neighbors!
Jeff and I met on a blind date in December 2004 and were married in October 2007. He is the apple of my eye, the hop in my step and the love of my life. In September 2010 we proudly welcomed our first child, daughter Avery Elizabeth and this site was created to share with our friends and family, near and far, Avery's journey through this magical thing called life.
