Happy Birthday Grandma Marshall!

"I had fun.  I love my family" - Avery after the party

As you may have read on Sara's blog, we went to my Uncle's house to celebrate my Grandmother's 85th birthday.  There was food, cake, and lots of family.  Our family doesn't do a lot of things together outside of Christmas so it was nice to see everyone in the same place.

All of the grandkids and great-grandkids.

Avery cuddling with her favorite GiGi.

 She had a lot of fun running around with Uncle David.  She even said "I love you" when we left.

 Taking Gigi for a nice jog.

She also got to spend some time playing with baby Anna.  She did a good job helping Anna reach for toys, telling her stories, and talking to her.  In previous encounters she has kept her distance, but now that Anna is moving around a little bit, Avery seems more open to playing.
