The Easter Basket

When Avery was born 9 days before Easter she was given a huge Easter basket filled with baby goodies. We took out the goodies and put her in and took a picture. 3 years later Reagan was born 6 days before Easter and the tradition continued. It is amazing to see how much they have grown. Here are some pictures of our Easter beauties.

Would you care for a cup of tea?

As I look at our lives now, I think it's so funny that the first thing I said when we found out Avery was a girl was, "What do you do with girls?!?!?!" Josh and I were so convinced she was a boy. 3 years later we were shocked again. And now, I can't imagine it any other way. I love being a mommy to girls.

To celebrate Avery turning 5 we took her to a real tea party. I don't think I will ever forget her face when they brought her tea in a real tea pot with a dainty tea cup to drink from. The pride was oozing from her as she poured her first cup of tea and drank it oh so carefully. Avery has had a rough year but every once in a while I get a glimpse of the young lady that she is becoming and I'm speechless. She is growing into such a beauty inside and out. I can't wait to see what God has planned for my precious girl.

How is this possible?!?!?!?!

How can my girl be FIVE. I'm truly having a hard time with this one. That sounds so grown up.

Avery, you amaze me. What a year you have had... and yet you keep laughing and singing and loving everyone around you. You are such a joy and I cannot imagine life without you. I love you more than life.
