The Big Day!!!!
to Avery the big 7
It's time to
We will wake up on the early side and head to Epcot for rope drop. Leanne's daughter is going to call Avery in the am to get her out of bed
We hope to get a bday pic with the Fab 5 at rope drop. Then into Epcot to ride on some of our favorites. We will then grab a boat and make our way to DHS. Off we will head tot he animation building to get some bday pics with the characters. Lunch will be cs probably Pizza Planet-love me some LGM. Off we will head back to the reosrt for some swimming or back to Epcot depending on time. Birthday dinner will be a late one at Teppan Ed0- Avery's choice. It will be a fun atmosphere I am sure. Night will end with Illuminations.
I would like something to be delivered for Av to the room for her bday. Anyone have any suggestions on what or frpm where? I have thought about getting a cake but they seem to be big $$$.

Disney Florist has some nice stuff, but it is pricey. I don't know if it is too late to contact memoriesbybetsy who I have used in the past for Mark.

I used Disney florist for Leanne and crew; the prices were the same as in the store's for the merchandise I purchased. I just wished I would have thought to research them a bit more when I used them. Trying to decide what I wanted to order with her descriptions was on the hard side (esp for the girls). I found out on the phone that day there is link where you can window shop before you call. (which I had known I had looked it over the week before but decided to call AK's gift shop directly 
)
Sounds like a wonderful day!

She is excited!!! She has some beautiful things.
They are!!! I did, thanks
She is!!!
A few little updates
We started virtual school yesterday and I was able to speak to Avery's new teacher. It is going well so far and will go even better when I know a little better how to prep. Av's teacher spent Spring Break at............
DISNEY WORLD!!!!
She and her Hubby had their honeymoon there so they went back for their 10 yr anniversary!! She is totally fine with us going and is allowing us to "double" up on the assignments so we don't have to take any with us. She also has shown me how to skip over the lessons Av alreadys knows. 4 new families started yesterday and we will have an online meeting tomorrow and after she will do a reading assesment on Avery.
SO I looked at the websites you fine people mentioned and
I must be cheap. There were some really cool things but she is ONLY 7 and we are already at DW!! I just can;t justify the big $$$. I think I am going to get her a gift card and let her pick something. She has also requested a locket necklace and we got her a new scooter.
DId I mention i am going to VEGAS on fri with my 2 of my best buddies. One is moving to Florida at the end of May and we needed another trip before she left. We went 2 yrs ago and had a blast. We are leaving at 7a on fri and coming home sun aft. Got a good price at the Flamingo and we are doing the 24 hr buffet thing. I have been teaching them how to play texas hold'em-hilarious. Should be a great time.
Alrighty, breaks over back to school!!

What about a balloon delivery? long time ago they use to do things like that...that would be a fun thing (maybe even just a standard florist delivery or grocery store???) yes, I thought the pkgs they offer were very high (I'm cheap too! 
) so when I called I told her I wanted a picture frame or album for Lea and Joe and stuffies for the girls; paid the same price as the store price. Worked well for me, except the stuffies for the girls I had fewer choices.
But, I do like your idea, too!
Happy to hear you and Avery's teacher hit it it off so well!

Caught up now!
So sorry to hear about the school drama with Avery. You had some with her school last year too, right?
Glad the virtual school is working out so far.
And exciting news about changing your dates to meet up with friends!!! I am loving all your plans. I laughed out loud at Avery requesting the "chop chop place".
As for birthday gift ideas, I like yours of just letting her pick something out. That's what we did with H. We took him to Once Upon a Toy where he could pick one thing. It was a big thrill for him. The other thing I was thinking, if she likes this kind of thing, they do hair braiding at the GF (and maybe a few other places? ) - no idea what it costs, but it's cute and girly!

I'm cheap, too.
Hang out with me, and you'll feel much better about how cheap you feel.
I like Brook's idea of the braiding, and of course a gift card to buy whatever is always a treat for little kids and big ones!
Break is over. That's what I find myself saying all too often at school.
Those school clocks have a way of running way fast during planning periods and lunchtimes.
They're evil.

Mary, I think the gift card is a perfect idea and Av can pick out what she really wants.
I'm glad the school thing is working out..that is the best news!
Another trip to Vegas? You lucky girl...have fun.
Thanks
I am relieved about the school. I know, I hope I win some big $$$$ What about a balloon delivery? long time ago they use to do things like that...that would be a fun thing (maybe even just a standard florist delivery or grocery store???) yes, I thought the pkgs they offer were very high (I'm cheap too!
