1st Birthday Party!

We were so blessed to have lots of family and friends join us in celebrating Ava's first birthday with a big party! Thank goodness the weather was nice because we had more guest than our house was able to hold (a nice problem to have that so many people wanted to celebrate with us!)
How cute is Ava's dress? My Mom made it! I picked out the fabric, told her what I wanted and it came out perfectly! Thanks Mom!

My little sister took he liberty of ordering a cake for us.Which came with this super cute smash cake for Ava! Thanks Katie!!She started out slow, but soon dug in!Although, when she was done....She was done!After a little break for milk and cleaning up she came back happy and ready to join her part again.Some of our guests.

My good friends Tessie, baby Tanner, Travis and Amanda

My surprise guests. An old family friend, Kathy and her daughter, Sheena. I hadn't seen either of them in years! They were a wonderful surprise!
Even my oldest friends from middle school, Allison and Amanda, who have since moved out of state came!
