Happy Birthday Ava!

Our grand-daughter Ava turns one year old today.

Sarah and Craig had her birthday party Sunday at their house.  She had such a pretty dress on. But she hated it because she couldn't crawl!

Ava  had lots of aunts, uncles and grandparents there to help celebrate.  I was so busy taking pictures of Ava that most of the other pictures I have of everyone else didn't turn out too good. Sorry guys!

And of course, there's Joe being Joe:

Matt couldn't wait until the presents were all opened so that he could put the toys together.

Ava had tons of presents to open, and for each one she pretty much had the same expression, which was funny. She was just taking it all in I suppose.

Aunt Amy (great Aunt!) gave her an AC/DC t-shirt. I don't think her mom and dad thought it was great, but I did. I almost bought one for her the other day!  Might as well teach her early, right?

Of course, she had cake. What would a one year old birthday party be without the mess of the cake?

Do you want a piece?

I found Sarah & Joe's first birthday cake pictures. For the life of me I cannot find Matt's, I must be a bad mom! Hard to believe that this was 26 years ago.

    She is so cute, but I remember that other party 26 years ago. I can't believe it either. And I also remember a 1st birthday several years(40 plus) also. Love to all of you.

    Great GREAT Aunt Susie ;)
