The Birthday Party!

Happy Birthday Avery! Here are way too many pictures from the birthday party. We had a great time and thanks to all of you who came to help us celebrate! Like I said before, she is so lucky to have so many people that love her so much. It was a great party, despite daylight savings time messing with the nap schedule. We saved her some cake to try again when she is not so tired! It really was the best day! Here are tons of pics of the birthday party!


The Birthday Girl!
Doing her birthday dance!
It's my birthday...yea!
The end of the party, with mama and daddy..and a sleepy birthday girl!
Avery going for a wagon ride with Conner, and letting all the neighbors know she is 1! Her wagon was her birthday present from Grammy and Grandpa Bahn!
The birthday banner that Ansley and I worked so hard on..thanks Ans!
Hanging out with Kate at the end of the party..crazy how they grow in a year!
Making sure her wagon is safe to go
Checking out Kate and Jay
Ready for her wagon ride in her sweet new winter hat (yes, another hat..I have a problem!)
Uncle Jeff and Lauren...Jeff was a good sport and even put on a birthday hat for me
Since Avery didn't really want to eat her cake, Conner wasn't about to let it go to waste!
Hmm..what am I supposed to do with this?
Our birthday girl ready for cake..or perhaps more ready for a nap? I do love her little thighs in her tights in this one!
Already loves getting new clothes..that's my girl!
Avery in her sweet, new Twins hat!
She loves her storybook bear. She giggles every time it starts to read!
Chasing her birthday beach ball - of course the $3.00 ball would be her favorite!
It is fun to be one!
OMG..I LOVE markers!!! Avery got her first markers, they are way too cute!

Jen & Cullen ~~ congratulations on the big ONE!! Those pics are the cutest as Avery is such a cute birthday girl!! Love the outfit and seeing all the photos ~~ missed being with you all... Avery is such a "ham" for the camera and you just take the greatest photos!! The dancing one is the best and the expressions she makes are precious.... I'm glad she liked the story bear and markers.....will be fun to get to see her using it all... I always look forward to seeing your updates, Jen....Love to all from the great-aunt in Iowa
