Happy 17th New Years Eve Birthday Avery!!! You’ve come a long way baby girl!!!!



I know Ashley misses her other daughter Isabella, Avery’s twin, and it is especially hard on her when no one comes for Avery’s birthday. Other celebrations are made and Avery doesn’t understand if they’re not there for her, but her mom does, and I know it hurts Ashley. Eva wanted to play a game of Farkle and of course we all were willing-lol They we’re going to watch fireworks at Grayson’s older brother’s house. The youth group from church were gathering there to watch the New year come in! I just had to include this picture of the night before Christmas at Ashley’s house. It really looks the part. Happy New Year Cuties and Avery ! Happy Birthday too!!! Love Gram

A very happy birthday to our very special Cutie. What a delight to celebrate 17 years. It looks like Avery was having a good time.

Avery enjoys attention. She used to smile when someone would say she was a pretty girl. I would joke with her and tell her when she heard the word pretty they weren’t always talking about her-lol

Thank you Laura, I hope you and hubby are over the flu. When I text my oldest daughter about coming to Avery’s birthday she said she was sick. Today she told me she had gone to the dr thought it was her sinuses, tested positive for Covid again. She had it last Christmas. She said she had bad headaches. Our son said he went by to tell Avery happy birthday but both vehicles were gone so he didn’t stop. I told him the girls Eva,Avery and Nora were home. Ashley had gone to pick up the cake and Grayson and Gus went fishing.

Thanks for Avery’s birthday wishes and Happy New Year to you and your family!!!

Toogie, what a wonderful family you have. Keeping family close, and that they love to play games with you is so great.

Thank you, I guess our days of camping and playing games paid off. They love learning a new game.

Did you spot Nora's fabric snowflake on the tree? Thank you for the wishes and we extend the same wishes to you. By the way, have your adoption papers arrived?.... If not they must be lost with the check my sister always tells my husband "It's in the mail".-lol

She is happy, although I don’t exaggerate when I say she is not photogenic. Her head is either down or to the wrong side. I like the snide look on her face, when her mom was rolling the dice. It’s almost to say, I knew you were going to Farkle-lol

It was nice thank you. I hope yours was good, as well. I try to be happy as much as anyone else. It seems to make for a better day, for sure.
