Turning One!

My heart just breaks as I type this.  It seems like yesterday that I had Avery.  I'll never forget the pure joy I felt when they placed her in my arms.  I was so extremely happy, and I didn't get the hormonal, emotional mess after having her that I had after having Makenzie and Presley.  I was so blissfully happy and in love with this sweet girl...still am! I am NOT ready for her to be turning a year old so soon, but I have loved every minute of watching her grow and learn new things.

Avery Kathryn, Mommy and Daddy love you so very much.  You are such a joy and a blessing.  We hope you always know how very much you are loved.

I always try to go all out when it comes to my kids' first birthday parties.  I know the party isn't really for them since they have no clue what's going on, but it's all about the memories.  Avery's party will have a shabby chic theme.  Can't wait...just hope I can find the time to get it done!  Pictures to come soon....

Here's the invite thanks to Marlie (again)!  Have I mentioned we have a great photographer? LOL...I don't know how Marlie managed to get the photos she did  from our little mini photo shoot, but if you'd have been there you'd totally agree.  This little girl was everywhere! She wouldn't sit still for a minute or even smile, but Marlie is good, I tell ya!
