The party...

Last night we had Avery's birthday party. We just invited Andy's siblings that are out here and our friends, Jordan and Amelia. I decided to keep it way simple, so we had ice cream sandwiches and cupcakes in our front yard area. Our house is too little to fit that many people comfortable...or even uncomfortably!
Andy picked Transformers cups and napkins for the party, and he picked up some helium balloons on his way home from work. Avery LOVES the balloons, and who could not like Transformers cups/napkins?! :)
We set up some chairs in the shade, brought out our outside toys and water balloons for the kids and we all sat and visited for a while. It was nice, and the weather was perfect!

Avery loved having all the kids here to play with, and he loved all the great things he got for his birthday. It was the year of sports items for Avery. He got the basketball hoop from us, a ball from Mike and Heather, one from Jonah and family, and a mini baseball set from Jon and Jacque. And he loves them all!!
It was a really nice night, thanks to everyone that came! Avery loved it!!
