Best. Weekend. Ever.

Last weekend was a big one. It started on Friday the 13th, which also happened to be my birthday. We went out to dinner with family and friends (13 of us altogether), and laughed and ate and drank. It was exactly what I wanted.

The next morning, we got up and went to Allied Gardens' Springfest, an annual event at our neighborhood park. Avery's little preschool was marching in the Springfest parade. She was pumped; she'd been practicing her princess wave for weeks. So we donned our matching t-shirts and headed for the parade route with Stephanie and Oliver.


There's Avery at the bottom right.
Daddy's got the wave down, too.
 

Getting ready to ride the roller coaster with Oliver.
Then came Sunday, Avery's 3rd birthday.

Grandpa and Chloe, ready to party.
When Avery saw Snow White, she looked up at me and said, "See mama, I knew Snow White would come to my birthday party!" 


By the time the faces were painted...


...candles were blown out...


...cake was eaten...


...jumpy was deflated...

 

...hats were taken off...



 ...and Snow White had returned to the dwarfs...



 ...Avery was too exhausted to open presents. So were we.
