Avrey's Mama's First Mother's Day

In order to celebrate Avrey's Mama's First Mother's Day we all got mentally prepared and headed over to Great Uncle Vern's house. The grill was hot, the wine was cold, and the mother's were all glowing! Great Aunt Ann got all four mothers a wonderful gift... beaded earrings - they are incredibly crafted and super fun designs from ulu's to mukluks. To top it all off, Judy served up a burgundy cherry ice cream cake - Great Granny's fave! It was a Happy Mother's Day for all.

Avrey has a new found love for STRAWBERRIES - a girl after her mama's own heart!
Adorable red and white Ladybug Robeez (a.k.a. baby shoes - for those of you who are not in the baby know), a matching sundress, a small white hair bow, and soft subtle stare... isn't she just picture perfect?

Peek-A-Boo Daddy! We see you. (This might very well be Avrey's favorite game.)
This little Gymboree dress was given to Avrey by a 'no-longer little' girl who was in the first kindergarten class that Mommy ever taught. So thank you Kelly Lovs because without your great sense of baby style, Avrey might have had to go naked to her Mama's first Mother's Day.
All the Mama's on Mother's Day... and Avrey of course (she never gets left out of a photo opp - I guess everything just seems better with a little bit of Avrey).

Rockin' the Playground

Avrey's favorite thing to do at the playground? Nope - it's not the slide, the swings, or the seesaw. Avrey likes to play with the rocks. She likes to let them fall through her fingers and hear the soft "plink" sound the rocks make when they hit the ground again. If you are a rather keen observer you will notice that Avrey is wearing the latest fashion in children's footwear - Baby Croc Sandals. Thanks Great Aunt Ann!

Lazy Saturday

These cute pics were taken on a lazy Saturday while Avrey and Mommy were still in bed! Notice that Avrey is in the pictures and Mommy is not - there is a reason for that.

Bath Time!

Avrey hasn't been able to sport her baby mohawk hair for quite some time now... however bath time changes that. There are few people in the world that can pull off such a risque style but Avrey does it effortlessly and somehow makes it so darn cute.

Sleeping Beauty

Avrey has been sleeping in some awkward positions lately... she doesn't seem to mind though. She wakes up refreshed and full of smiles! Kathy Wisthoff - do you notice the pj's?

Avrey's First Easter

The day before Easter Sunday we went to Bell's Nursery to get Avrey's picture taken with the Easter bunny. She was the center of everyone's attention - she stole the show!

We celebrated Easter by attending Crosspoint Church as a family and then going to Granny Campbell's for Easter dinner. Once again, the entire Campbell Crew was there and the meal was delicious. This time Avrey was able to partake in the festivities a little - I believe she tasted the mashed potatoes and the dinner rolls. After dinner she was off to find her well-hidden Easter basket with the help of Daddy!
I dressed Avrey in this super cute Easter outfit and she was in a great mood all day - as a result of her giggling, dancing, and sheer cuteness, I am pretty sure that she attracted more eyes from the church congregation than the Pastor did!
