Avery is 2!

Our sweet Avery turned 2 back on January 5th!  I just can't believe that our little baby is already 2 years old!  

It seems like just yesterday you looked like this...

Avery, you are growing up so fast and you are such an amazing girl!  You make us laugh and you bring so much joy to our hearts!  You are strong, brave, adventurous, silly, sassy, funny, compassionate and smart.  You love to play with your sister...in fact, you hate it when you are not together.  You love to sing, dance, and "shake me hiney!"  You love to read books like Are You My Mother, Go Dog Go, and your Mickey Mouse and Little People flap books.  Your favorite songs are Twinkle Twinkle, "The King" (Joy to the World), and "Baby Jesus" (Away in a Manger).  You love to go to church and play with your little friends.  You can count to 12!  (Although you usually skip 3 and 4)  You love it when Daddy makes you fly and you love to ride on Mommy's back.  And you never go anywhere without your puppy.

You are such a precious gift and blessing to us.  We can't imagine life without you.  We pray for you to have a desire for our Lord and one day make Him your King.  We pray that you grow into a godly woman and live your life to please Him.  Happy Birthday, Avery!  We can't wait to see what God has in store for you!  We love you!

Daddy, Mommy, and Sissy
