Avery Mae's First Birthday Party!

Today was Avery's first birthday party!  Her actual birthday is next Saturday December 14th, but I wanted to go ahead and have her party this weekend so that it wasn't so close to Christmas.  Everything turned out so cute and Avery had so much fun.  I am so thankful to be her Mommy, she is such a sweet little angel baby girl!

 

Gingerbread cookies, yummy!

Avery's little smash cake.

The sweets and treats table!

Chocolate dipped strawberries and rice krispies.  They were so good!

Little cupcakes for the party.

I love these sweet cupcake toppers!

Had to put up lots of pictures from her first year!

Cute little gingerbread centerpieces and party favors.

Happy first birthday sweet angel!

She wasn't too sure about the cake....she wanted the mini m&m's back!

Happy to get more m&m's, forget the cake!

Kissing those sweet baby cheeks!  And, she got peppermint ice cream too!

A little elf showed up at our party and painted faces!  So fun!

Little gingerbread booty.

Sara looked so pretty with her face painted!

Jayda got a gingerbread girl and Sara had hearts painted. LOVE it!

Caitlyn had a really pretty blue painting done.
 

Little bit loved opening her birthday presents!

So happy to get a moo-cow!  She pulled it straight out of my hands and kissed it!  Avery loves moo-cows so much!  It's the only animal sound she knows.  She actually doesn't even say "mooo", just "mmmmm" and we all know what she's talking about.

So excited about her presents!

She even got her own makeup set!  Yay, no more sharing with her sisters!

And look what Oma and Oupa got, a rocking COW!  Oh my goodness, she absolutely LOVES it!

She got 3 of these little cows, everyone knows how much she loves them. :)

And a high chair for her babies and food to feed them.  This looks so fun.

Playing with the baby dolls food.
 

The elf even did balloons, so cool!

Jayda and cousin Molly with a cheetah face painting to match her dress!

Doing more balloons.

Avery got a little ladybug.  I love this too!

Watching sister play with her new toys.

Miss Lacy the elf made one last froggy balloon before she had to go.

Avery loved the baby doll bottle.  She wouldn't put it down once we opened it up, it was so cute!

Oliver and his froggy!

Ty's Daddy had a heart made for his mommy, so sweet!

Me and my little munchkin telling the elf goodnight!

Avery's party turned out so good!  We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends that were here with us to celebrate! I love you sweet Avery Mae and I seriously CAN NOT believe you will be 1 YEAR OLD in a week!
