This week we celebrate Avery's birthday!

Here are some things you MUST know about Avery -

her favorite color is yellow.

her favorite toy is her Webkinz or Groovy Girls.

she has a keen eye for fashion.

she loves shoes and dresses.

she would much rather go shopping at the mall than walking in the woods

(although she has been known on occasion to request an afternoon hike).

her favorite sushi roll is the crunchy one.

her best place to go on Saturday morning is the Farmers Market.

she always buys honey sticks and fruit with her money there.

the best place she's ever been is Africa, or camping in Maine

but if she could go anywhere she'd go to Rainforest Cafe in Chicago - or on vacation in Hawaii.

she loves to stay up late and sleep in late.

she loves to sleep with big, thick blankets in a cool room.

her favorite bands are the Beatles, Daisy May & David Crowder.
