First Birthday















Hey everyone,
It is so hard to believe, but Avery turned one on Saturday! She woke up on Friday morning sick, and is still that way. :( So she was a good sport for her party and did well considering. She didn't know what to think of her cake, she just stared at it for a long time. Then as soon as she stuck her hand in it everyone went, yah! Then she stopped and looked at everyone like what is going on? So cute. So we had a wonderful party at a local park, where it was nice and shaded. It was a great turnout, around 65-70 people. We had a wonderful time with everyone and thanks to all whom made her day so special. It is so hard not to look back and remember her birth and just how far we have come from that day. She was so little and fragile when she was born, and as she is still very dependent on us now, we can see some independence creeping out. We are looking so forward to more first, like new words, walking, running, hugs and kisses. She has truly been a blessing from God and we are so thankful for every minute we are blessed with her.

Awe, great pictures. I hope I can see more! She did look like she wasn't feeling well, poor babe. But man, is she gorgeous!!! Holy cow, she is so pretty! Love her dress too! I'm so glad the party turned out well, we were thinking about her all day, wishing we could be there. Happy birthday, Avs!

Can't wait to see you again!

I love it - you can kind of see it in her eyes that she wasn't feeling the best, but like you said, what a trooper! Happy bday Avery!! :)
