turning 5 is fab!!

Especially when your birthday lasts all month long!
This year for Avery's actual birthday we were in Utah spending time with family and friends. So, needless to say, her birthday was celebrated more than once.

ROUND 1
party with the Wallace cousins at Grandma and Grandpa Swimmin's
nothing better than a GINORMOUS cake from Costco.
(and if you look closely, her face had been artistically altered by her cousin Addison)
thanks for the makeup Richards fam!
ROUND 2
party with the Taylor cousins at Grandma and Grandpa Taylor's
Avery with her cousin Mina
(blurry, i know, but i had to include this pic!)
ROUND 3
party with her friends in Pittsburgh at our house
the theme this year was a pajama party.
our first activity was decorating pillowcases.
i don't think we'll be doing this activity again.
it got really messy and crowded.
Zach reading bedtime stories to the 'party goers'
and Zoe causing an expected distraction in the background.
cupcake time!!
some of the loot...
the pajama party wouldn't be complete without typical Zoe "bed head", my morning face and lack of effort with makeup application.
(i just wanted to do my part but i think i took it a little too far)
HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY AVERY!

Happy Birthday Avery! I can't believe she's 5. *tear* It seems like we were just barely walking the girls down the street in the townhomes with their baby strollers and a bouncy ball! I was so sad we weren't in Utah while you guys were there. We have to get together at some point. :)
