Birthday Bash

Last Saturday we had a birthday party for Avery at our house. She had so much fun playing with all the little kids and we are so grateful to everyone that came to share this special day with us. As most of you know, we have recently moved to CA and not knowing many people here made it difficult to figure out if we'd have a party for Avery. We decided to invite some of our neighbors, and of course the guys from Matt's work and their families. We weren't sure who would come, but to our delight most everyone came. They treated us with such warmth and welcome. It's just so wonderful to know that we have such a great support system in place! Whether you've been here for 2 years or 2 months, you are treated like family. We had a great time and can't thank everyone enough for coming and spending time getting to know us and celebrating Avery's 2nd birthday.

Thank you also to everyone who sent emails, texts, cards, gifts, etc.. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family.

Here are some pictures from her big day, opening presents, as well as pictures from her party. Enjoy!!

Sorry about the wind in this video....here is Avery playing with one of her new presents. :)
