HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY

I laughed when I read Dana's blog and found out that she didn't like Ava's cake because Avery's cake did not turn out either...and it looked much worse than Ava's.  I was trying something new and decided I will never do that again.  Avery didn't like it either so we ended up giving her a cupcake we made for her guests and she LOVED it!!! She loved the tissue paper (of course) and her little lion walker. She did laps back and forth for over an hour, we had to drag her to bed.

Avery and Mommy, isn't that hat too cute?!

Avery and Daddy

She loved the party favors

Grammy and Grandpa.  They were such good sports about wearing their party hats too!

YUMMY!!!!

She kept trying to do what everyone else was doing

It was nice of Avery to let us "share" her presents

This is the mess up cake, it looks like a 4 year old made it... actually they probably would have done a better job.  The icing was melting, her name was dripping off the side.  I was ready to cry. Everyone tried to console me, but they were unconvincing because they knew it was as bad and I thought it was

Thanksgiving 2007 and Fun Shots of Avery

Avery loves to play with cords!!!

This is her special basket, she loves to find her treasures

She was helping with the camera... see she wants to plug it in

She loves generic chex, she could eat them all day

Mmmmm...would you like some?

We went to Barbara's house for Thanksgiving, it is becoming a tradition. Mom did all of the cooking while the rest of us watched football and ate yummy snacks.

Grandpa was trying to get Avery's attention, but she and mommy were to focused on the game

Here's Avery tired, but yes, still watching the game.

Isn't Daddy cute though?!
