Audrey's birthday celebrations began 2 weeks before her birthday. While we were up at Papa and Grandma Michaelson's, we went ahead and had Audrey open her presents from them.
Two weeks later, on December 11th, we celebrated at home. Audrey was so anxious... So, we spread out the present opening to all day long. She opened her first present (from us) after lunch. And it was the one thing she requested for her birthday. About a year ago Rachel received a cape with a "R" on it at a party. So, Audrey decided to request a cape with an "A" on it...
After her nap she opened yet another present from Papa and Grandma Smith. The girls have had so much fun this past week playing with the play-do. We've always had play-do, but we haven't had many tools. So, they've had a ball!
After dinner Audrey opened 2 more presents. One from the Hoglund family and she loves her new jacket:
After a wardrobe change - new outfit and jacket on - we got out the cake:
It was fun this year to have family join in on the celebrations. We are enjoying have Craig, Natalie, Chase, and Landon so close. It's not often that we have family around to celebrate birthdays, so we're enjoying the change.
A few days later Audrey went and picked out a doll from Uncle Jeff and Aunt Amy:

I think Audrey's birthday was a success! She was spoiled by so many with phone calls, cards, and presents. She is one lucky who girl has lots of people who show her love. We are so grateful for Audrey and all the joy that she brings to our family.
