Avery's 2nd Birthday Par-tay!

Since we are on a birthday party kick, I wanted to do a post about our sweet friend Avery's 2nd birthday party!  It was so fun - and it was an Olivia party!   Here is the cake Ashley made her - so cute!

 And here's the birthday girl checking out her cake while everybody was singing to her!  I didn't take a ton of pictures because Ashley's uncle had that under control...he is the photographer for the Tennessee Titans, so to say he is a professional is an understatement! :)  Another tidbit about her uncle (and aunt)...they used to be my neighbors when I was growing up.  Such a small world...

 I loved the balloons hanging from the archway into the kitchen!  Good decorating, momma!

 And after most of the folks had left, the kids had a blast in the playroom.  This is a picture of us mommas with the kiddos.  The three of us have been friends since the beginning of freshman year in college...over 10 years!  And we all live in the same neighborhood!  It makes me so happy that our kiddos are growing up together!

This isn't the best quality, but this was at Avery's party last year...we forgot to do this year's picture when Jessie was still there this year - oops!  But isn't it amazing how much they've all grown up?!  Jack was in my belly, Olivia was just a couple weeks old, and Avery and Katie have changed so much too!

All the girls went in Avery's room and were reading books - adorable! 

 But then they decided they had had enough of still and quiet and started getting into everything!

 And they actually cooperated for a picture together in the rocking chair!  LOVE this!

 Sweet girls ... and all of those blue eyes!

What a fun time!  Jack skipped his afternoon nap for the party - we got home, fed him, and he went to bed and slept for 13 hours!  Not too shabby!
