Ava's 1st Birthday Party!

Here's the pictures from Ava's first birthday party. Enjoy!


Ava in her special birthday dress from Grandma Mary. Unbeknownst to Mary, I had seen that dress online, thought it was really cute and secretly wished Ava could have it to wear on her birthday. Imagine how excited I was when a package came in the mail and that exact dress was inside! I felt like Anne when she fianlly got her dress with puffed sleeves. . . Doesn't Ava look like a little girl?










The Cake.



The Cupcakes.



Ava greeting her party guests. I was really glad most of her friends were able to come. They all like playing together.







Our friend Troy bringing her the cake while we all sang and Tony snapped pictures.




Not too sure what to think . . .



Note this handful of frosting, courtesy of her dad, in the above two pictures. Her left hand is totally incapacitated by the sticky stuff. Thanks dad. . .


After mom cleaned of her hand. . .but she was still more interested in just playing with her spoon rather than actually eating. And it did taste good. I promise.



Diving into the cupcakes.



Present time!


Ava has a natural talent for opening gifts. She caught on very early on in life. She wants to see whats inside ASAP.




"Thanks everyone for my presents!"


The after party pool party.




Can you believe those eyes?


Ava loves her pool. Her birthday present from mom and dad.





Just chill'n

I love these! Ava looked adorable in her dress! That one of Evie and Colton at the door is a personal favorite (it couldn't be because it features a certain blue-eyed boy.)
