Avery’s 3rd Birthday
by Janelle Call on May.27, 2010
On May 13th Avery turned 3! We had a really fun day! It started with Skyler and I waking Avery up by singing “Happy Birthday”, she was very excited. She has been talking about her birthday for months now and has been so excited to be 3. We went downstairs and ate breakfast with Skyler and sent him off to work.
We then decorated the cake and cupcakes for Avery’s party that night. The theme of the party was “Under the Sea”, Avery enjoyed putting the Swedish Fish on the cupcakes.
As soon as we were done decorating Avery wanted to go to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. We invited Grandma Christiansen, Aunt Nicole, and Aunt Lacey.
One of Avery’s favorite things to do was play in the sand and water area. She kept putting her hands in the sand and then shaking them off because she did not like having the sand all over her hands.

Avery has been to The Dinosaur Museum a couple of times before and both times that she went she was very afraid of the shark. Today she actually sat by it to let me take a picture. Aunt Nicole told her to act like she was scared. I think she did a pretty good job!

As usual, this is what Kaden did the whole time!
After the Dinosaur Museum I took Avery to Wendy’s for lunch and then we went home to have a nap before the party.
Finally it was time for the party. We had it at the Ivory Ridge Clubhouse.

Avery received many fun gifts. Grandma and Grandpa Christiansen gave her a wagon, with seats for her and Kaden, Grandma Call gave her dance clothes and a summer of “Princess” dance lessons, Aunt Lacey and Uncle Jake gave her a swimming suit and a swimming noodle, her cousin Sadie gave her a shirt and some stickers, her friend Alli gave her a “My Little Pony”, Great Grandma and Grandpa Christiansen gave her a “Little People” playset, Skyler and I gave her some clothes, and Kaden gave her a Princess book.
Thank you everyone for the gifts and for coming to the party. Avery had a great time!
Happy Birthday Princess!
