Happy Easter!

 
 
After a five month hiatus from baking cookies due to a broken wrist, surgery 
and therapy, I'm back to making cookies.  Physically I'm capable, mentally it was hard to get motivated.  I opted for simple minis, the preferred size in my family, with one large cookie for a centerpiece. 

Happy Easter, Happy Spring!

Adorable Avery is Four

 

One . . . two. . . three. . . four. . . it's been so much fun watching this special girl grow! 

When Avery was a baby her Mom always dressed her with headbands, but once she learned how to take them off, there was no way she would wear them.  Therefore, she made Mom very happy this year when she embraced braids, barrettes and bows.

 
Avery continues to be a fashionista showing her own unique style!  She can be very strong-willed when it comes to choosing her everyday fashion and costume choices.  It seems to be a tradition on Halloween for Avery to select the costumes for the family, but then she decides not to wear one.

The kitchen continues to be one of Avery's favorite places, she's a lovable, little "foodie."

Doc McStuffins is still her favorite character, but she's become enchanted with Disney princesses, as well as Mira, royal detective.  The countdown to a trip to Disney World later this year has already begun.

 
 
Preschool became part of her routine this year.  She cries when she is dropped off and she says, ""I don't like school," but the pictures the teachers share show her actively engaged in all the activities.

As we move past the pandemic, Avery has also been able to travel, explore and participate in new activities.  She shows no fear on her scooter or skis!

 
 
She enjoys her lake house in Wisconsin. . .
 
.  .  .  and the urban environment in Chicago as long as her best pals:  Mom, Dad and Lincoln are at her side.

Love, hugs and cookies for the birthday girl!
