Avery drew a pretty big crowd for her 2nd birthday party! Maybe it was the fact that it was an "Elmo Party"....or maybe because it was a pool party....or maybe it was because she is just so darn cute...or maybe it was just because it was time for another Durbin summer party. Who knows the reason...but there were a lot of us that converged on Brent & Alisa's for the day/night! The afternoon started out with a pool volleyball game...mostly with the guys. Ok, only with the guys. The bigger kids (Drake and Andrew) got to partake in the game...and had an absolute blast! The younger kids got sidelined and just watched. It was pretty fun though watching all of them....got pretty intense for a while there!

All the kids got goodie bags...
Avery had to pass out everyone else's presents before she got open her own. Think she really liked that!
All the clothes that she opened, she wanted to wear right then....over her current clothes! Hmm....wear the clothes as soon as you get them....wonder who that is like?! Maybe Uncle Vince has been teaching her some fashion 101 on the side...
Clarification: In regards to wearing the new stuff right away...not wearing it all at once!
She has her regular clothes on....pajamas...and a dress on top.
Although Avery might not remember her 2nd birthday .... we will!! It was a great night with a great group of family that all came out to celebrate! Thank you to Brent, Alisa, Andrew, Brianna, Olivia, Mom, Dad, Gina, Bill, Chris, Nicole, Kent, Tammy, Brad, Leonor, Erik, Stephanie, Aubrey, Miss Ashley (Brianna's teacher), Greg, Anndrea, Lena, Ezra, Vince, Drake, and me.....for all being there to celebrate Avery's big #2!!!!
