Avery’s Birthday Celebrations and Surprise Visit from Grandparents {March 9-13, 2016}

Our cute little Avery turned 3! I love this little three year old.

When it was her birthday she came into my room when she woke up and said “Mom! It’s my happy birthday!” She’d been looking forward to her birthday for quite some time.

For her birthday, we were low key. We opened presents in the morning, went to music class and brought cookies for everyone, then had beef stroganoff for dinner. The next day we met Bryce for lunch at Chipotle.

On Friday (two days after her birthday) after Bryce left for work, we were getting ready to go grocery shopping when we heard a knock on the door. I opened the door and there was a pile of presents for Avery. I was a little confused then looked around there was Bryce and Tamara then Kevin came from upstairs.They decided to surprise Avery for her birthday! It was a fun surprise and we had a great weekend spending time with them.

Growing up my mom put the first letter of our name made out of m&ms on my birthday cake and I’m keeping the tradition alive!

When the Pinders first arrived we went grocery shopping. The kids got to be out of the cart which never happens so they were loving it. Avery also pretty much got to get whatever she wanted.

Grandma and Grandpa stayed in a hotel which comes with perks—like a pool! Avery and Dallin LOVE swimming and had a blast swimming in the pool. That night we went to dinner at cheesecake factory—delicious!
