Has it Really Been a Year Already?

February 24th marked the one year anniversary of when our precious little baby girl came in to this world.  Life has not been the same since, to say the least!  We love this angelic little Yarger girl sooooo much!!  Happy Birthday, Avril Carmel!!
For her birthday celebration, we had family and friends over for food and cake at our house.  The next morning I also had some of my mommy friends come over to celebrate.  Avril just soaked up all the attention and loved every bit!

Mmmm, yummy Mexican haystacks for dinner!

 

Avril chillin in her new stroller.  Mommy ordered a toy chest for Avril's bedroom online and there was a promotion where a free umbrella stroller was included.  Unfortunately, the toy chest did not arrive on time but we did get the free stroller!  Avril likes to use the stroller like a walker and push it around the room.

Balloons for the birthday girl!!

Aldin missed the funny face memo

me and my boyz

Grandma made this delicious strawberry cheesecake.  Sooo fun!

She's about to blow out her candle.  Make a wish!!

Avril contemplating her first move

and she dives right in!

Still wearing the remains of her cake on her face, she opens a present from her Uncle Jared.  She got some new bath toys!!

Oh boy is she excited to play with her new toys!!

  

Grandma and Grandpa also got her some new bath toys, and some cute new pajamas!  Avril just loved her presents.

Monson and Aldin couldn't be more excited for Avril.

And these are some of the blocks mommy has been making for Avril's birthday.  I only got the letters of Avril's name done, and a random letter "Q" but I'm working on the rest of the alphabet now.  She loves her new blocks and I was so excited to make them for her.  I got the idea from my friend Britney who also made some adorable blocks.  She has instructions on her blog how to make them, see her blog for details:  Bob & Britney Silver

Hope you enjoyed your very first birthday, Avril.  We love you!!
