Family

This weekend we got to spend time with both sides of the family.  On Saturday, we attended a birthday party in the Fort for our nephew, Garrett, who is turning 2!  We all had a great time, but Avery especially had a blast.  She got to see Grandpa B., uncle Chad, aunt Jamie, cousin Garrett (of course), and other extended family on Artie's side.  Plus, there were lots of kids around her age that she got to play with and different dogs to give her kisses-boy did she sleep well!  Today, I made lunch and Avery got to visit with her maternal side as Grandpa R., aunt Cim and uncle Jake came by.  What a busy, warm and sunny weekend!

Wow!  Check out that awesome cake:)  It tasted really good too!

Avery taking a quick drink break on daddy's lap. She shot hoops, played in the sandbox and carried chairs around the yard-she was thirsty!

Cheeeeeeeeese!  Garrett LOVES cameras-it's so funny, he will 'cheese' for you to take a picture of him:)

Opening presents...what would a birthday be without those??!!

Avery was in love with this slide.  She definitely needs one in her own backyard!  

Sunday I made red velvet cupcakes...Avery got one with dinner and actually ate it!  She has never been a big cake eater, but these must have been special because she gobbled it up!

Big blue eyes!  She ended up in the tub right after this!

Glad you guys had a great weekend with family.

I agree with Megs. Those close-up pics of Avery are stunning.

Can we get another belly shot sometime soon? I have such bad baby fever... I need to live vicariously through someone else. I hope you are feeling well.
