It was an absolute blast. We had tons of family and friends come from all over the southeast and the party turned out really well (including the hamburgers which at times I didn't know how they would fare).

If Ava was receiving an award for her first birthday and only had 30 seconds on stage before they started playing exit music I am 100% positive she would thanks all her grandparent and aunts/uncles for helping her parents out throwing the party and getting things in order.
I know I would.
