TWOmendous Avery!

As you can tell.......... the party got a little wild ;-)

Bowden, Coop and Landri making their silly faces.

We were so excited to see they have the Great American Cookie Company here. So of course we used Avery's birthday as an excuse to get a great big cookie cake.

Poor Avery didn't feel to good at her party. She had a fever before we left and as we were singing Happy Birthday the medicine just hadn't kicked in yet. It looks like Darin is enjoying it though!

She didn't want to blow them out...........

.......... so daddy blew them out for her. I think it was so he could start cutting it and get him a nice piece of cookie cake.

Avery started feeling a little better when she saw the Haynes give her a present.

I have never seen her so excited to open a present. She was squealing with excitement.

This is what we call....... the Mercer tongue thing. Darin and most of his family do this thing with their tongues. So proud so see that she is "officially" a Mercer!

Avery had such a good time. It was a small but sweet party. It was us, the Haynes, Julio and all of our favorite servers at one of our favorite restaurants. The servers love Avery. They are always walking by the table yelling her name and bringing her M&M's. She really is treated like a princess there.

Little Ashlyn enjoyed the party as well.

I know these pics are kinda hard to see but Bowden loved taking some pictures. I think they are still very sweet pictures.

Cooper is always cheesing very well for the camera but I love when you can catch his smile in action. He is seriously the cutest little boy ;-)

Landri loving on Avery!

One of the workers had a motorcycle so he allowed the kids to sit and play on it.

The kids were so worn out. They all fell asleep after all the excitement from the party!

Happy 2nd Birthday Avery!

We love you so much. It is so hard to believe that you are growing up so fast. We are so excited to see how the Lord is going to use you. He already does by making you a beautiful little girl where people stop to talk to you! You open the door for us so much that you don't even realize. You are God's little princess!
