We celebrated Avonlea's 2nd birthday this past weekend and how great it was to see family and friends. We are so blessed to have so many people who love our daughter. Avonlea actually turned 2 on Thursday and that night I made her two favorite foods, maccaroni and cheese with peas. She also received her birthday gift from Daddy, Lincoln and I that night which was a play kitchen. Since receiving it, she hasn't stopped "cooking" on it. We also received a Skype call from Grandma Bates in China!
Saturday was nice. The weather cooperated and even though another family showed up 15 minutes after us to celebrate their daughter's birthday, it worked out just fine. The party was at a local park right off the water so we had a breeze and the shade trees were great as it got hotter that afternoon. We had pizza and cupcakes, played on the playground, hit our Elmo pinata (which Avy wasn't happy about-oops! Didn't think about that one!) and Avonlea received some very thoughful gifts. Needless to say, we were pretty tired that afternoon.
Lots is going on with construction. Tomorrow the guys are "supposed to" tear down walls so we'll see if they follow through (don't you just love how timely construction goes?). Our dear friend Steve is getting married next weekend so there's lots to do this week and Rob and I are in the wedding so we're looking forward to an adults' night out. :) My sweet friend Stefanie is watching the kiddos while we're out.
Have a great week everyone! Don't forget to thank the Lord for your blessings today.

Happy birthday Avonlea! Looks like you had so much fun at your party! Kelli, you are so crafty coming up with all that. That is a great Raggety Ann costume, she looked just adorable!
