Where oh where has the past year gone? I cannot believe my little girl is 1! It seems like just yesterday that my sweet Ava was born and now she is almost walking. We are soo lucky to have some good friends here at Ft Riley to help us celebrate her birthday. I found it very funny that of all the kids who were at Ava's party (there were about 10 I think) only 1, other than Ava, was a girl. The rest were all boys about Andrew's age or a little older. Gotta love living in a neighborhood full of boys. Thankfully they were good sports about attending a little girl's party.
Ava's personal birthday cake. A lady my neighbor goes to church with made the cakes and she did a great job. We were soo pleased with her work.
the cake everyone else ate
Andrew was not thrilled I was taking his picture. I'm lucky I snapped it before he ran
little girl got lots of presents
Our carport partially decorated. I forgot we had balloons in the house until the party was almost over. The sad part about that is I had just picked them up that morning from having helium put in them. Guess I'm loosing my mind.
I LOVE the look Ava is giving her brother in this picture. She looks very irritated that he is helping her open gifts.
such a pretty girl
check out all her loot :-)
The bag says it all
The boys were such good sports. I told them they all had to put on the lady bug party hats if they wanted cake. Surprisingly no one complained. However I'm a little disappointed that I managed to get a group picture without the birthday girl. Oh well
Wearing her party hat...but not for long
Daddy and Andrew singing Happy Birthday. The wind blew her candle out before anyone else could
Tasting the frosting on her cake
Now we're getting into it
Haley is such a cutie! She was the only other girl at the party but had no problems playing and keeping up with the boys
Some of the boys eating their cake and ice cream
Adam and our neighbor Jeremy serving the cake and ice cream
Jeremy decided to share his ice cream with Ava. I'm pretty sure she liked it
Sweet birthday girl in the dress my Grandmother made for her
Our neighbor Jackie (Jeremy's wife) helping Ava play with one of her new toys
Adam decided to take a break from all the party funAll in all it was a great day and I am amazed at how much my little girl has grown. Before we know it she will be starting school and I'll wonder where all the years have gone (just like I do now with Andrew). So here is to another fabulous year with the sweetest little girl I know. Happy Birthday Ava my love!!!
