Paaaaarty!!

Saturday was Averie's birthday party. Never did I realize how much hosting a 1-year-old's birthday party would wear me out. By the end of the day, Chris and I were both completely exhausted but it was so worth it. We all had a great time and everybody was so generous to our little girl. Our living room looks like Toys R Us threw up :P.

Going into it, I knew we wanted to make her "smash cake" ourselves. I guess we did a good job since several people asked where we ordered it!

Averie was a little unsure at first...

I had to help her get to the cake itself (it was a little hard for her since it had been in the refrigerator) but once she had her first bite, there was no stopping her!

Mmm...chocolate! I remember we over-did Ben's first bday too :) Then you learn to hate bday parties once they're old enough to invite friends over :) Glad she had fun. Onto the terrible twos!! (Which I really think is a myth...my kids were fine at 2.)
