Avery's 1st Bday Partay @ the Park!!

We celebrated Averton's 1st Bday this past Saturday @ a lovely little park in Frisco.  Both sets of grandparents, Avery's fav Aunt, a super-amaaazing surprise guest (explained later) and some super great friends came out to grill burgers, play in the sun, and watch Ave stuff her face w/ cake!  We had a terrific time.  Thanks SO much to everyone who made it out!

I think Avery thoroughly enjoyed herself, although she was SOOO tired for the majority of the time, the insanely strong winds nearly knocked her over on numerous occasions, and her terrible momma did a TERRIBLE job of reapplying her sunscreen so she got a little fried.  Whoops!

Now for some pics from the day:

So we didn't get out even half of the cute little decorations we had bc under the pavilion it LITERALLY felt like hurricane winds...but I don't think Ave minded too much :)  She got her cake, her presents, and lots of love from lots of great people.  And the grillmaster/dad did an awwwesome job on the burgers! Thx babe :) Thanks again to everyone!  We love you guys!!
