Happy 5th Birthday, Avary!!!

Well, this years September birthdays were not too exciting except Avary's. Spencer's grandpa had passed away and he was out of town for my birthday so my mom took me out to Texas Roadhouse to celebrate. Then when Spencer came home we all went to Olive Garden to celebrate mine, my mom's, and Avary's birthday. Since mine and Avary's birthdays were on Sundays, we just hung out and relaxed, we did presents with Avary though.

Avary had a really good birthday, she got a lot of horse stuff.

This is her Pillow Pet from Spencer and me. She was SO excited when she opened it up, it's a Unicorn.




These are paint and play horses from my mom. CJ got dragons for her birthday and Avary wanted the horses. She was excited to open these too.

She got this cool ball from her Grandma and Grandpa Schumann. At first we didn't know what it was, but then Spencer figured it out.

The girls really had a fun time with it. Unfortunately it popped a couple days later. CJ gave her a book of horse puzzles. I didn't get a good picture of those so I don't have them on here.

I asked her what she wanted for dessert on her actual birthday. She decided that she would wait for cake for her birthday party so.......

She settled for fresh peach cobbler.

The next Saturday we had her birthday party for all her friends. I talked her into a costume party, it wasn't that hard to talk her into it. She had a lot of fun that day.


Of course, a My Little Pony cake. I didn't make this one. When I was pregnant with Avary, CJ had a birthday and I bought that cake from the store so I decided I was going to do that this time too. It sure was a lot easier. It actually tasted really good. I took her to pick it out and she picked all the flavors herself. She had a chocolate cake with strawberry filling and a whipped "cream" icing. We were impressed.


We had a pinata that was a Unicorn. I can officially say that my girls HIT like girls. All the other kids whacked the snot out of that unicorn and CJ and Avary barely tapped it, it was pretty funny.

More horse stuff.

I was glad that I was feeling OK for her birthday. I was afraid that I wouldn't feel good, but it worked out. Especially since we also fed the missionaries that night.
