CELEBRATING AVE
I can’t even understand how a year has already passed with our crazy monster! Dad and I did a lot of celebrating the day of LO’s actual birthday since it landed in the middle of the week. So she scored 2 cakes. Spoiled?



The theme of the party with was pink lemonade. We kept it pretty simple since I had just finished planning our wedding the week before. Lets just say I was pretty burnt out of creativity for a bit. We played with bubbles, ate some lemonade cupcakes, along with some ice cold pink lemonade. Then went into opening all the awesome gifts! I’m so happy we did cake first. The sugar gave Ave a serious attitude change. She was ALL about ALL of her gifts, which totally shocked me! Every time she opened one she would be immediately obsessed with it, and try and run away before we took it for her to move on to the next. It was crazy hot by about this time, so we wrapped it up with some piƱata. These kids were wired. SO. MUCH. SUGAR. oops. 


What a blessing this little chubby baby toddler has been this year! Thanks to all you friends and family who helped us celebrate!

 
 


I SO wish this one would have came out a little better! She was so pumped on her new strider bike
