Avery's first birthday!

Well...a year has come and gone and our little girl is getting older! Bitter-sweet! We had a great day celebrating with family and friends...even getting lucky enough to catch friends in from BC for a little while (Kristin Bracewell and her two kids) and family driving from Ontario to BC (Giles' cousin Tim, his wife Joan and their five kids)! Our timing couldn't have been better! Here's some pictures for those of you who can't quite remember this day as it was several months ago already!



Ready for the attack....this cupcake is MINE!!!!

"This is great...are you getting all this, dad?!?
"
Just thinking through her plan of attack here! Looking at things from all angles!

She really did play her party princess role very well that day....especially since (if I recall correctly) her morning nap was not happening! I guess she could sense the excitement in the air for her big day!

Avery would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who contributed to her happiness that day, if she hasn't already done so! The presents were a huge success and still getting played with and worn to their full extent!

Avery had a big brother and cousin who were quite willing to help out opening presents and checking out the new toys! Thanks guys!

Avery's new car was a particular source of jealousy for these older boys...after all, they needed to get in there and show Avery how to drive it!

Avery held her own though and decided to enjoy the moment in her new car while the moment lasted! Happy birthday Avery!
