Our baby Ava: ladybugs and tutu's

Ava's first birthday!

What a fun weekend we had for Ava's birthday! We were surrounded by so many close friends and family. Ava is so loved and we are so lucky to have such wonderful people around us. The theme for Ava's party was Ladybugs and Tutu's. It was a great success! I had so much fun decorating cupcakes, making tutus, and cooking a ton of food. I also decorated the tables like ladybugs with tons of balloons everywhere! As a kid, my mom always threw the most awesome birthday parties for me, I can't wait to pass on the tradition to Ava. She got so many wonderful gifts, unfortunately, she pooped out before we could open them at the party. After her nap, the family stuck around and we opened her then. She got a TON of pretty clothes, many many books, her first babydoll and babydoll activity set, an electric 4wheeler, a swing, fun stuffed animals, a rocking chair, and a family pass to the children's museum. So spoiled! Thank you so much to everyone who could make it. Thanks to all my photography friends and family for capturing her special day.. if it weren't for you guys, I would have absolutely nothing!!!!
