Avery's San Diego Birthday Party

Avery is a quick learner...its not birthday, its birthday week!  She kicked it off with a birthday party in San Diego that I'm just now getting around to posting on the blog = )

Pre-party birthday girl!

Waiting for her guests to arrive = )

Grammy, Avery, GG, and Auntie Susi

Oh GG, you are so silly!

Auntie Kay Kay joined in on the fun too!

Hey everyone - look at how funny I am!

Aunt Kay & Uncle Stephen

Avery's Birthday Cupcake

Okay Daddy, bring it on!

Rejected ; )

That's more like it!

I think I DO like sugar!

Our sweet little cupcake is ONE YEAR OLD!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVERY ELIZABETH!!

The scene of the party = )

DELICIOUS cake made by Just A Bite

The birthday girl with her friend Cassidy

The kids spent most of the party in Avery's play room!

Cassidy, Jayden, Avery, Sean & Trevor

What the heck did you just put on my head?!

My very own baby cake!

I can't quite figure out this texture...this is frosting?

Mom, I don't care what silly faces you make...I'm not putting that in my mouth.

Hhhmmm, on second thought...

This cake is fantastic!

Successful 1st Birthday!

Our little lady didn't seem to be feeling 100% tonight but she didn't let that slow down the partying = )  I can't believe that a year ago Avery came into our lives and changed our world forever.  Travis and I never knew it was possible to love a little girl this much!

Happy Holidays From Our Family To Yours

Twas The Day AFTER Christmas...

and all through the house, not a creature was stirring...

because we were all at the BEACH!!

I hope you don't expect me to get in that cold water...

Mission Beach

Daddy excited...Avery not so much...

Mommy making silly noises to get a smiling baby picture!

Avery's 1st steps in the sand

The cutest girl on the beach!

Family picture time!

I can get used to this ocean business = )

Photo with Grampa & Grammy - yes please = )

Have we taken enough pictures yet?

That's a wrap!



Avery's 1st Christmas Brunch at GG's

Are you guys tricking me...you mean there are MORE presents!!!

Now we're talkin'

But who needs presents when I have my Grammy and a remote control!

And my Grampa's new tools!

Thanks for the great brunch GG!  I think I'm just going to take a quick snooze on my Daddy's arm if that's okay with you = )

Avery's 1st Christmas Morning...

So I still don't get it...you're saying today is Christmas?  And that Santa found me all the way out here in San Diego?!

And you want me to believe the man I met in the San Angelo mall sent me this?!

Legos are cool but I'm really interested in Daddy's new suitcase!

Who didn't see that coming ; )

Okay people...back to the LEGOS!!!  And they come in my favorite color - hot pink!

Avery's 1st Christmas Eve!

Greetings from San Diego!  Avery attended her first Christmas Eve party at Auntie Susi's house!

There was break-dancing...

Sippy cup karaoke...

And a food eating contest!

And instead of reindeer games, we have belly games!

Gotta get the other side = )
