Avery's Third Birthday Party

Avery had a joint birthday party with her third cousin Christopher who was turning a year old for her third birthday.  We had family and friends come out to Ama and Apa's house.  The kids played on a water slide and we had a small pool for the infants.  The theme was dinosaurs, Avery's favorite!  We even had a dinosaur pinata and some neat goody bags for everyone who attended.  The girls had so much fun being with all of their cousins, even the ones from out of town.  We were disappointed that Apa had to work and couldn't make it but we loved the brisket he made for all of us, it was delicious.  I was very excited that the girls were old enough to know what a pinata is and what to do with it.  All the kids got a chance to hit the dinosaur and were rewarded with lots of candy.  Avery was such a big girl and when it came time to sing to her she did a funny side to side glare at everyone, but at least she didn't cry or hide like her big sister always does.  Avery even blew out her candle!
