four on the fourth, part 1

January 4, 2009 . . . Miss Avery Laine turned FOUR! I can't believe it's been four years since we first met her. She continues to be a bundle of sweet girly-ness that we could not live without. And she's still the only child in the family who almost always willingly poses for pictures. So here are some of my favorites from 2008. Most of these are from Camp Granna last August.

(I realize this is blurry. I love it anyway).

This princess developed a bit of an attitude during her third year!

But she's still mostly sweet. ;-)

And what would any good Avery post be without an Avery video? Here a couple you probably haven't seen yet. As always, talking about her kids and her friends . . .

Ave unknowingly says a bad word in this one. Also, please note that throughout this entire video she is trying to put earrings into her not-pierced ears (well, they were pierced once, but then they got infected and grew back together. She actually got them re-pierced during Camp Granna when she got her nails done).


The next video is of Avery telling me about her "friend," Nimpra. Here is the conversation that preceded the making of this video:

me: Avery, how's Nimpra doing?

Avery: Well, she's not doing so good.

me: Oh, really? Why not?

Avery: Well, she has cancer.

(Now you know why I had to get the camera!)


"Blooded" her face?! I have no idea.

Happy (belated) Fourth on the Fourth, Ave!
