Fun, Sun & Bunnies

Well we kicked off the first week of April having lots of FUN!  Avery's 1st birthday was a huge success.  We had 45 of our closest friends and family there to celebrate our precious little girls 1st birthday!  Avery got everything she could have even have thought to ask for clothes, toys, trampoline, CD player, shoes and money!  What more could a girl ask for???

Avery's cake smash will go down in the history books.  She utterly enjoyed her chocolate cake.  Avery started out slow and then realized how good icing and chocolate cake were.  Cake was all over.....EVERYTHING. 

As she decided to just go in for the kill those little eyes peeking over the cake brought tears to my eyes.  I realized we had 1 year under our belts and it was the best year of all my 29 years here on earth! 

The very next day we packed up with our besties Jenny and Jovie and headed to Florida for vacation.  The girls did great in the car.  We had hoped for better weather, but it was a nice break from our busy lives.  She loved the pool, beach and ocean.  I can't wait for more swim dates this summer with my little nugget.  We also celebrated her 1st birthday in Florida with a red velvet cupcake and swimming. 

We decided to go to Easter church service on Saturday night.  Avery loved every minute of the singing as she bounced down the aisle to visit anyone that would smile back at her.   She ended up sitting on Sally Wells lap playing peek-a-boo, dancing in Nana's arms and getting crackers from the older couple sitting in front of us. I believe that our little girl thought everyone was there for her party.  She will one day understand it was Jesus' party that day. 

We wrapped up the weekend with the Whaley's on Sunday with lunch and an egg hunt.  Avery was not good at hunting eggs.  There were too many distractions....leaves, dogs, sticks, grass, etc.

What a wonderful week and perfect start to the month of April.
