First Birthday Party

September 28, 2013...Avery turned ONE. 

Our sweet little girl celebrated her first birthday at her grandparents in Shalimar (Destin area).  We drove up on a Thursday and came back Sunday.  During our trip Avery got to spend a little time with both of her great grandmas, great aunt Nell, grandma and grandpa Frazier, grandma Williams and Shannon and Wright. 

For decorations, we went with a rainbow color scheme which screamed birthday party to me.  Her grandmas were hard at work the weeks leading up to it and created her birthday dress, wreath, banner and tutu highchair; such precious items that will be used for years to come.






 
Since we knew she had sensitivity to milk and eggs, Avery's smash cake was vegan from Whole Foods.  Luckily they made it pretty cute but it was rather dense and didn't smash at all. 

before and after...


Overall this birthday girl had a blast.
