happy 8th birthday, averie grace

Happy 8th Birthday to our Averie Grace!  So hard to believe that she is already 8...& loving every minute of it!  Such a compassionate leader who will make a very good Mommy one day!  So blessed with her smile, laughter, & love for our Lord.

Birthday morning...with her birthday table!
And, she even got to open up her presents from us right after breakfast...she loved her American Girl locker set!
Averie & Brecken
Averie & Brady
And, she was super surprised & loved her cruise ship lego!
Averie loves legos!
We love giving her gifts...but we especially love her genuine appreciation and excitement for each gift!
Her final gift...a bicycle!  She was excited to have one that was more her size!
Even Daddy tried it out...of course, he was actually showing her how the gears worked (her first bike with gears), but Mommy caught him on camera!
We enjoyed hanging out all day...even having some girl time with Mommy (& Oma & Stephanie) getting their nails done...& having some sweet frog.  That evening, Averie chose to eat at On the Border for her birthday dinner with all her grandparents, uncles, aunts, & cousins that could celebrate with us!  Afterwards, we headed home for cake and presents.

"Happy Birthday to you..."
Make a wish!
