It was back to Austin this weekend to Aunt Shelly's house as we celebrated Avery's 4th birthday in true Texas style - a little swimming, a little grillin' (fajitas, yum!) and lots of fun with friends and family! Mother nature was very good to us allowing for beautiful day for all.
Avery loved his Spiderman party and was running the show by saying "Mom, it's time for cake" and 'Dad, you said we could open presents!" What a difference a year has made. In the past, we are having to wrestle him down to eat and open gifts b/c he was so shy. But he reminded us today that he can do things now because he's 4!

Ella enjoyed the party as much as everyone else. What is it with kids and beer? Just look at her tongue curled up and ready for a taste! Daddy wasn't paying much attention but luckily mom was! Foiled again!
We had a special surprise for Avery when we returned home today. We made up his bed with his new Spiderman sheets and quilt and assembled a wooden castle that he asked Santa for this year but it didn't make it on his sled! Look at that smile... he does the closed lip smile when he is extremely happy. And he remembered- he said "This is what Santa forgot to give me!" Poor Santa! The real battle will be getting him to bed tonight.
Thank you Shelly for opening your home to us and allowin g us to have such a great day! And thanks to everyone for coming and making Avery's birthday extra special!
