| From Avery Tavasi |
Let's face it, nothing is really "normal" around here right now. We're all starting to feel it, maybe even crackin' just a little, hopefully I'm just speakin' for myself. I don't even have a pic. to post of Miss Aves on her big day; the day she's been talking about and looking forward to for months. Thank goodness for grandma McBride and Payton who shopped for her presents, and Bob, who wrapped them and set them out nicely so she had them first thing in the morning, and Aunt Amy who made her an adorable cake, which we were all excited about since Aunt Amy makes the most delicious baked goods.
Although I knew it wouldn't be perfect, my goal for Avery's big day was to make her feel special. I wanted her to forget about the chaos around her and enjoy one day that was all about HER. So we sang, danced and shouted about it being HER birthday. We smothered her with hugs and kisses. I told her the story of the day she was born, funny things about her over her sweet six years of life, let her choose what we were eating, doing, listening to on the radio, and even excused her from chores. She wanted more than anything to go to Roaring Springs, and even though getting in a swim suit was the last thing this mama wanted to do, we braved the water park. Avery is a fish in water, and the highlight of her day was finally being tall enough to ride every single slide in the park.
Miss Ave's you are quite the character. Even though your craziness has brought more dramatic entertainment to our lives than we know what to do with sometimes...
We love you something FIERCE!
Happy, Happy 6th, my BABY GIRL!
