Better Late Than Never!

March was a little crazy in the Garvin house.  Avery was turning the big THREE on March 16th, but Daddy was having major back surgery on March 15th. Needless to say, I'm ashamed to say we are just now getting around to celebrating that big 3rd birthday. We did take her to Build A Bear for her birthday a couple days before her birthday.....even in all his pain, Daddy was there - and just as excited as Avery!
She spent her b-day week with Gram and Grandaddy who celebrated with her so it's not like we just skipped it all together....let's just say we stretched it out to make it last longer :o)
So, 4 months later, we finally got around to truly celebrating...which in Avery terms means....cake!

We started at her favorite restaurant - "Da Buffawo" or in non-Avery terms Bugaboo Creek (they have a talking Buffalo as well as other moving animals on the walls). After an early dinner.....cake and presents!!!

She loved the Puppy cake!

Excited Birthday Girl

So serious

She ate the piece on her plate and moved on to the whole cake

Present time! Her first set of "g-ahh-ff qwubs"

...and a baby carrier for her new baby she roped Daddy into buying her at the store. Meet the newest baby to her collection - Forla (four-lah) Not sure where she gets these names! Don't most little girls stick with the basics like Susie, Molly and Sally? I love her originality!

Happy 3rd Birthday Avery!!!!
