Ava's first birthday Party!

First of all let me tell you this birthday party did not go as smoothly as I would have hoped. We have all had the stomach flu the last week, poor little Ava had been throwing up for four days, and was not in the mood for socializing. We has already postponed the party once, and I just decided to have a very low key one. No decorations or anything,just family, homemade cake and pizza. Here is Ava before anyone arrived....looking a little glum.





I think we finally got a few smiles once Ava started opening her toys!



Yea, Elmo's Kitchen!! (we played with this toy inside sam's club for over a half hour, they both had a crying fit when we had to leave it.

Need a little mommy time


This toy had a mirror on it, and she thought she was in heaven.
I catch her smiling at herself all the time now!!

She didn't like this one bit.

I can't believe she's ONE already! Time goes by so fast.

I love her hair. She's a cutie.

I just read this, and the similarities are pretty outstanding. We all had the flu last year the week during Presley's first birthday...AND, we got her that same musical toy with the mirror (which by the way is still one of her faves a year later) AND we got her a little kitchen too. How funny! Birthday 2 went much smoother for us. ;) PS - I agree with you, the time has gone incredibly fast...I can't believe your kids are so big.
