Happy Birthday to Our Sweet Girl

Avery turned 1 on Feb. 2. Normally we bake birthday muffins but Ross got his first taste of powdered donut recently so I thought I'd give him a surprise and have those this time. Avery didn't complain - as you can see below. Of course we had a candle and sang to her.

Hello tongue!

Yum! She quite liked her first taste as well!

If I remember correctly she ate 3.

I wanted to get a picture of her with Ross' birthday crown but the only time she would wear it was when she was drinking out of her sippy cup.

Her cute cake. -Thanks Mom for lighting a fire under me.

She needed a sample before everyone got there and she was the birthday girl so why not?

Daddy picked her up a birthday headpiece and she actually wore it for a short bit.

Happy Birthday to Avery!

She dug right in.

Wait for it...

She decided it was easier to just go straight for the cake with her mouth instead of messing up her hands.

Sweet baby girl!

Would you please look at those sweet ankles being crossed as she goes in for round 2.

After she ate cake she spent forever playing with the cups.

The damage.

Present time!

Uncle De was even there!

Ross is quite the fan. Uncle De brought him a soccer ball to open and he has been practicing a lot.

Our Granddad was there. His birthday was this past Saturday - one week after Avery's. He is 86.

It was a great day!
