Avonell Celeste Turns 5!

Today marks a big day in my little girl's life. She's FINALLY 5! She's such a ray of sunshine in our lives. We call her our little flower child because everything is rainbows and giggles for her. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday and this was her list. Strawberry Shortcake shoes, Strawberry Shortcake toys, Strawberry Shortcake movie! Oh and she requested 2 cakes, a rainbow cake and a "chlocate" cake with "chlocate" ice cream. She's so stinking excited! Here are some things I LOVE about my sweet Avonell.
1. Her beautiful smile
2. Her chipmonk laugh
3. Her squeeky nose
4. Her artistic sense
5. The way she loves to be tickled
6. Her willingness to "share" with Becca
7. The way her face lights up when she conquers a challenge
8. She's super snuggly
9. She loves to help mommy
10. The way she accepts and loves everyone she meets
11. Her beautiful brown eyes and long eye lashes

Avonell told us a couple of days ago that she now has 2 boyfriends. Teancum (a boy in her Primary class) and her swimming teacher (he must be pretty cute)! I don't even want to know what her life will be like as a teenager!

We have been getting her ready to start school in August. She can't wait to be in Mrs. Shasta's class. She is reading really well and learning to write her letters better. We have also started working on math this summer. The only thing she's not looking forward to is getting one more shot before school starts:(

Avonell has been such a light in our lives since the day she entered our family. We love her so much! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVONELL CELESTE RAPPLEYE!
