Happy Birthday Avery!

Avery was just as sad about turning one as I was about her getting older.
Once she realized she was going to school she cheered up some! Just ignore the snot bubble under her nose and it is a cute picture!
Saturday we had her party at McDonald's. There were around 15 kids and even more adults. We had such a good turn out and such a good time.
Avery didn't really care about the party stuff. She just wanted to throw down some french fries. Just like her mommy!
We were so excited that Avery's teacher, Sonia, could come and celebrate with us. She calls herself Avery's Costa Rican grandmother. I think Avery believes she really is. She has to tiptoe out of the class to use the restroom and when Avery notices she starts crying for her. So we pray for Sonia's health everyday so Avery will be happy at school!
I am not sure why I let Darin pick what pictures he wanted to be on here. Thanks Dear!
Avery looked so cute in her little onesie with the #1 on it and her big pink tutu!
This is little Lilian that is in Avery's class and also lives right next to us. These girls get so excited when they see each other. It is so cute! They also were are neighbors in Richmond so they have known each other since August. If we could only take Lilian to Mexico with us!
Avery wasn't very sure what to think about everybody singing to her!
But, brother helped her out and blew the candle out for her.
Cooper picked the Dora theme out for her. It was amazing how McDonald's took care of everything.
Cooper had a great time since some of his friends got to come and join in on the fun as well!
They also did face painting. Didn't they do a great job on Emily!



What a cute couple! Superman with Butterfly!


All the kids loved getting all the candy from the pinata!
You would think Cooper would be pretty tough hitting it, but he gets shy and embarrassed and hardly even taps it. If we were at home he would have been going crazy!
Avery loved feeling her and even gave her a kiss. It was so cute! Darin still hasn't learn how to hold a little girl when she has a skirt on!!!!!!!!!
They didn't stop at face painting, or pinata hitting.......they also made balloons for them.
Of course Cooper had to pick the sword!
We had such a great time. It is just so hard to believe our baby girl is already a year old.
We love you Avery Makena, Happy 1st Birthday!

Of course all this made Nana cry too. I miss my babies so much...that includes you too, Darin and Katie. Thanks for sharing the party with us. Love, Nana/Mom
