Ava's Birthday was on the 2nd and mine was yesterday on the 18th. Both of those weekends James had to work so we split the difference and had a b-day party together on the 9th. It was mostly for Ava of course since it was her first and boy was it fun. We invited our friends from church that also live in the neighborhood and all of them have kids of different ages including one who is only 3 weeks older than Ava, so the house was full. We ate and ate and then sang to Ava and gave her the cake. A tradition I sort of kept from growing up that my mom did was a strawberry cake with whipcream instead of icing. I did this for Evan on his first birthday too. So we sang and Evan blew out the candle, which she was completely mesmerized by and the she dove into the cake. At first, it was just the whipcream hand over fist. Then she realized there was something underneath that white stuff and went crazy devouring that cake. She was totally opposite of Evan. He wouldn't touch the cake at first. He was scared of it. After I pushed his hand into the whipcream and put it to his mouth, then he went crazy. She also got a few gifts including a hand made bracelet from Sabrina and Reagan. It was great.
