6 Year Old Avery

This Avery girl just keeps getting better and better!  We love her and all that she is so much!  

For Avery's sixth birthday she wanted an Elsa party, she had been planning it pretty much the whole year leading up to her birthday.  Her birthday really snuck up on me this year and before I knew it her birthday was a week and a half away!  I figured I had better start preparing stuff and sending out invitations for a party the weekend before her birthday.  

She was able to invite 6 friends for her party, she picked 3 friends and 3 cousins.  All but one person was able to come and she was so excited!  We played lots of fun games!  We decorated Elsa crowns, pinned the nose on Olaf, played Do You Wanna Build a Snowman, freeze dancing, freeze tag, and took some pictures with some photo props.  

Everyone had fun, especially our birthday girl.

On her actual birthday Avery went to school then we got to head to Roy to see the dentist, who also happens to be my brother.  Avery had fallen down in gym a few weeks before and hit her two front teeth.  A couple days before her party I noticed they were getting discolored which was concerning!  Not the best way to spend your birthday, but I tried to spin it for her and make it positive.  I told her how exciting it was going to be to get to see her Uncle Matt on her birthday, how cute she will look if she has to get her teeth pulled and how fun it will be to stick her tongue in the space her front teeth were.  It worked!  She was excited and did so wonderfully at the dentist!  She was so cooperative for everything.  Even when it was determined that her teeth did need to be pulled she was so brave while trying to get her numbed!  Unluckily, she never did go totally numb and wasn't able to get her teeth pulled.  From what I understand, when the teeth are infected it makes it harder to get numb around the area.  It didn't help that the nose piece for the happy gas was too big and wasn't really doing anything.  So we left the dentist with all her teeth still in that day.  

The next week we were able to get in with a pediatric dentist up here in Logan.  They had a nose piece that fit for the happy gas and I think that made all of the difference!  Between the gas and a shot they were able to get her completely numb!  She was also distracted by Frozen being played on the ceiling.  She actually started singing along to Let it Go while her teeth were being pulled!  It was hilarious!  

She came out looking adorable and loves that she can now stick her tongue through her teeth and she can whistle.  

Avery is a wonderful girl.  She makes friends easily and is a good friend.  She loves to have fun, loves to play games, dance, and sing.  She always wants to do what is right.  She is a great helper and a great big sister.  She has the best personality and we love having her in our home.
