Happy First Birthday!

Happy Birthday to our beautiful baby girl!  Thanks to all of our wonderful family and friends who keep up with Ava Grace through her blog.  It has been a remarkable year and we are so very blessed.

We had a small family celebration this weekend and enjoyed letting Ava Grace have her first taste of sweet stuff.  As you'll see below, we went through a progression of emotions...

Excitement seeing the cupcake

Mesmerized by the flame

Testing the texture

Trying to share with daddy

Taking a first taste

Spitting it out

And losing it completely!
