Last Thursday we had dinner at Gigi's (David's mom's) house. There was cake and lots of gifts! Avery enjoyed the small cookies sitting around the cake more than the cake itself...and it took a lot of coaxing to get her to blow out the candles (which as you will see never happened...she tried though!).
After cake we opened presents! I think Avery was a little overwhelmed by everything, and had a hard time giving up the book (from Holly and Josh) that she opened first. From that point on we (Heidi, Holly, and I) mostly opened the presents and showed them to her - as she sat and read her new book. When it came time for Gigi's present she was ready for something else. David helped her open her very own dvd/cd player, which was fully charged and ready to go! She exclaimed "video's!!!" as soon as she realized what it was. :) Here are some pictures of her opening the presents:
On Sunday night Jamie and Josh came over and made a spaghetti and meatball dinner for Avery's birthday. Afterwards we went to D'Lites for ice-cream (they just put one in down the street from us and it's great!). They have the cutest little cones for kids, they're TINY! Here's Avery enjoying her strawberry ice-cream cone:
That's all for now, but I'm sure they'll be more celebrating to come, so I'll post pictures as I get them!

With all the times I fly w/Gabe, I think he needs one of those DVD players so he can watch his curious George :-) It's really cute!
Oh fun! What kind of cd/dvd player was it? My dad's been looking around for one for Adri to be entertained on trips in the van... looks like Avery had fun celebrating her birthday!! :) Adriana's been into blowing out candles lately, but she's not any better at it than Avery - they try so hard though! Cute video :)
