Ava's 1st Birthday Party

We had a little party for Ava's 1st Birthday on Sunday, November 2nd. Those in attendance were Mom and Dad, Jason, Shelly, and the kids, Gary, Joyce, & Joe, Brittany and Zach Looosbrock, and Stacie Menken. It was a bit unfortunate that Ava was not in a better mood for her party. We had a very difficult night before as she was up crying for several hours throughout the night so none of us got any sleep. We are not sure if it was her teeth bothering her or what the problem was. She did take a couple of good naps and was only up for about an hour and a half while everyone was at our house. We had cake and ice cream and enjoyed time with family. It was my first attempt at decorating a cake. It certainly wasn't perfect, but it turned out okay. Ava didn't know what to think of her cupcake. She just touched it ever so gently, but didn't seem to think it was there for eating. Eventually, Brad broke it down for her and fed it to her, and she did like the chocolate frosting as evidenced by the picture. Ava recieved lots of very nice gifts. We are so thankful to everyone for coming and sharing her special day.
