Avery is 14!!

Avery gets to share her birthday with Fall Break most years so she doesn't have to go to school and we get to have her with us for the whole day. She wanted to go to the movies so as a family we went to see Christopher Robin. It was a cute movie and all the kids were entertained by it the whole time...miracle!

After the movie we went home and we all sat in the living room with Avery in a chair in the middle of the room and we all told her one funny memory that we have about her and one thing that we love about her. We do this on everyone's birthday and the birthday person really loves it. It makes them feel very special. Siblings, and even parents, sometimes forget to say nice things to each other so it gives everyone a chance to remember why we love each other.

Next was presents! Avery has been really into doing card magic tricks so we got her a special trick deck of cards and a DVD that teaches magic tricks. She has also been infections in her ear piercings so we got her a bunch of special earrings for sensitive ears. She loved her presents.

Avery said she wanted a Lego birthday cake, so this is what I came up with:

It may not be Pinterest-worthy, but she and all the kids loved it.

I can't believe how old all our kids are getting!!!
