Summer Birthday Exchange

Waverly Maye recently got to participate in a birthday exchange with some of our favorite bloggers for the third year in a row (see last year’s here & the year before here).  I am super excited to stop in to share what she got this time around.  We love exchanges like these so much, fun mail makes us so happy (way too happy) and it was extra fun for Waverly to get some of her very own, her first birthday present this year!

Our friends Desiree & Julia sent over the perfect gift for a girly-girl like Waverly, she absolutely loved it!  She got a Frozen makeup package and the sweetest dolls from an Etsy shop, and they have already been used non-stop.  By both girls.  Avalon even got very first manicure, with Elsa polish. 🙂

The biggest thank you to Desiree & Julia, Waverly Maye is one very happy little girl!  And an extra special thank you from this mama, you bought me some time before she starts begging us some more for her gifts from us, I think the list currently has 200 items that she “has to have”. 😉

For a complete list of all the bloggers that participated, see below!  We had the best time sending over something special for Lily, you can see that here.

    So glad Waverly liked her gifts! I couldn't pass up the wooden princess dolls! And the Frozen make-up sounded positively fun.

Summer Birthday Exchange

I love a good tradition, a celebration – and of course, any type of present, so when Elizabeth asked Waverly & I to be a part of the summer birthday exchange for the second year in a row, we were super excited & all in!  You can see last year’s post here, the idea is that all the little ones with summer birthdays draw names & send birthday gifts to each other.  We love this so much & are so thankful to be included with some of our very favorite blog friends each year. 🙂

Waverly got the sweetest package from Laura and her sons, Liam & Finn, the cutest apron ever!  It is seriously adorable & Waverly loves to bake, so this was the perfect present for her.  Laura also included a recipe, Liam’s favorite cookies, & I can’t wait to bake them with Waverly during one of Avalon’s nap times very soon!

Thank you Liam & Finn, & happy early 3rd birthday to Liam!

We got to send a present to Ethan, we love his mom Natasha’s blog (& her style!), plus their newest little guy, Wyatt, is just precious!  You can see what we got for Ethan’s birthday here, happy belated 3rd birthday!

You can find all the other blogs who participated in the exchange here:
Amanda & Lily @ Tickled Pink, Elizabeth & Mason @ Chasin’ Mason, Jess & Sadie @ Sadie Sky Boutique, Laura & Presley @ Happily Ever Parker, Laureen & Tyson @ Chataeu Deveau, Sara & Mac @ Running From the Law, Sarah & Brantley @ Seeing All Sides, Stehaphanie & Grey @ Olivia and Tate, Traci & Charli @ The Hallway

And lastly, before we sign off for the holiday weekend, a few pictures of the girls this week!  Avalon is getting more alert by the day, though her awake times are still few & far between.  Waverly will say “omg, her eyes are open!”, we all love it so much & though I’m sure that’s right when things will get harder, I am really looking forward to her being able to interact with us more in the weeks to come.  By far, Waverly’s favorite thing to do is hold her sister, she asks me every single night to come hold her & kiss her before bed, I’m not sure there is anything sweeter.

Wishing you all the HAPPIEST holiday weekend!

    Oh, love love love! Those photos of them together just melt my heart! She is such a good big sister! And I know because Mac is a TERRIBLE big brother. 😉

    Happy early Birthday, Waverly! I just love the picture of her holding baby sis. She looks like she truly loves her!

    goodness sakes, those pictures of Waverly holding Avalon. Adorable! It's so sweet that she already loves her sister so much! Emerson does the same thing with Oliver, and it melts my heart every time!

    Little aprons are maybe my favourite things ever. I saw mini ones at a store the other day and wanted to buy a couple for the future for when we have kids! SO cute.

    Such sweet pictures of your girls. Don't you love 'girls'?!? I loved the sound of saying 'my boys'
