Party Pictures!!

Ava's excited about her party, a little overwhelmed too. But we held back on the gifts...
NOT! So we went WAY overboard...big deal, we were excited.
Since Granny + Papa Tim came to town, Ava has been standing on her own A LOT. Although I think she might be leaning on a gift in this picture. Thanks to Granny Skeet, Cindy + Ronnie, Aunt Jill + Robert, Aunt Jo + Robert for sending gifts! You did great!
Mommy, aka Martha, creating a one of a kind "Curious George" birthday cake. Can you tell it's George?
Of course you can...it's awesome. Sorry, I'm just so damned proud of myself.

Granny + Papa Tim, Grandma + Grandpa, Aunt Lisa + Andy, and Great Grandma Hester came to Ava's party. Party hats were mandatory, smiles (see Ava) optional.
Ava tries the cake...
She likes it, she likes it!!!

Looks like Ava had a great first birthday, cake and all!! The monkey reminded me of Bobby's first birthday cake, a clown, that I also made and was very proud of! Good job Courtney. I'm glad you take the time to enjoy her every minute, it goes fast, Bobby turns 21 this Saturday.
