SIX is for Avery

It's been another wonderful year watching dear, sweet, great-niece Avery grow.  She continues to be a foodie. . . 

 

 

still loves fashion .  .  .

 

and wears it all with style and perhaps a bit of attitude.

 

 

Avery has become quite the little helper this year.  No projects are too big or too small for her.

Kindergarten took her to a new school.  .  .

 

 

. . . and on the first day, she once again said she wants to be a doctor just like she did in preschool.  However, with all of the activities she enjoys, I suspect she might change her mind over and over in the years ahead.

One of Avery's goals this year was to use the monkey bars without assistance.  Although she broke her wrist on a failed attempt, her cast did not slow her down.  The little daredevil even added gymnastics and rock climbing to her routine.

Halloween has always been a favorite holiday for the family and she was quite enthusiastic about decorating this year.

Avery is definitely following in Mom and Dad's footsteps when it comes to interest in design.

Avery's earlier birthday celebrations included cookie designs of my choosing, pastel and cute.

 

However, this year was the first time that SHE chose the theme for her birthday party, Wednesday/Barbie, and asked all of her guests to wear pink.

The theme was a new one for me and I had to do a little research on Wednesday Addams, so it seems that she is following the family tradition of challenging me to make some unusual designs.  Her older cousins had some pretty unusual requests at young ages, too.  Elliot asked for numbers for his sixth birthday so his friends could do math problems at his party.  At nine, Mary Grace requested brains and took her friends to the museum to dissect eye balls.  At ten, Leann wanted to serve her guests chicken nuggets.

From Doc McStuffins to Wednesday Addams, I'll never know what to expect from Avery, but I think she is well on her way to changing the world!

S is for sensational and stunning.

 I is for interesting and imaginative.

  X is for eXtraordinary and eXcellent.

Avery is definitely SIX in every way!

 

 

Love, hugs, cookies and happy birthday wishes!
