Avery's First Birthday Party

On Saturday, we celebrated Avery's first birthday. Our families willingly came to Columbia to help us celebrate Avery's special day. Avery did such a great job at her party. She woke up from a nap right as the guests arrived and wore her self out enough to take a second nap when everyone left.

After opening her first gift, Avery had no interest in opening any more. Everyone was incredibly generous. I know Avery really does appreciate all of her gifts. I think her favorite gift came from Grandma and Grandpa Greene. They gave her a new kitten! She loves her little kitten, but I don't know if the kitten will feel the same way in a few days. Avery is still trying to learn the meaning of the word, "gentle".

Avery's LOVED her cake. We weren't terribly surprised by this, but it was still fun to watch her dig in to her cake. Many thanks to Grandma Musselman for taking over bath duty after Avery finished her cake.

After Avery's party, Luke's family stayed the rest of the weekend. Luke's grandparents actually came all the way from Michigan to celebrate Avery's birthday so we wanted to spend some extra time with them. I know they were amazed at how much Avery has changed since they last saw her. We had a great time with everyone, but it was an exhausting weekend!

Enjoy the pictures. I am quickly learning how difficult it is to get good pictures of a one-year-old. Good thing her professional pictures are being taken on Friday!
