Avery's Birthday Party Part 1

The Saturday before Avery's birthday we had a birthday party for her friends and cousins.  We decided not to have it at our house for once and have it a local cupcake store where someone else would be responsible for cleaning up after a bunch of overly sugared 5 year olds.  Avery finally decided on a Minion themed birthday party after talking about a half dozen different themes since Christmas.

The birthday girl herself with her minion shirt, minion goggles, minion balloons, and minion plates.

 Part of the gang.

 They party was a cupcake decorating party, so Daddy got to help Avery hold the frosting bag while Avery squeezed it out on to her cupcakes.

 Mommy helping with the finishing touches.

The delicious chaos.

The finished result...delicious.

 While Carter didn't participate in the cupcake decorating, he had a great time with the balloons and being walked around the room by Gigi.

 Us with the birthday girl.  And Hunter.

 Before the kids could dive into their cupcakes, it was time to sing happy birthday to our little princess.

 Soaking it all in.

Anna tasting her work.

Some of the girls decided they should huddle up and do a group hug.

 Avery opening gifts.  She was such a sweetheart and was thanking everyone as they gave her gifts.  Abby had drawn a picture on the outside of her card and Avery said, "Abby is like an artist, she always draws beautiful pictures."

 Mimi and Papa got into the minion spirit.
