Inman Adventures: West Texas Birthday Party

On June 25th, we loaded up the car and headed to Midland. We decided to transistion Avery into her big girl car seat for the trip, so she would be facing us and not be crammed in her infant carrier. She was a week and a half shy of 1 year and just around 20 pounds so it was time for the change. The car seat was a big hit at first but had some getting used to. She slept for the majority of the trip since we could not get away until 7pm. By the time we got to Midland at 1 in the morning, Avery had slept for a good 4 hours and was ready to party. Needless to say Mimi, Papaw and Uncle Austin were excited to see her as well.

We had her "First" 1st birthday party planned for Saturday with lollipop decor. Vickie did a great job running with my theme and the set up was just as I had imagined. Grandma Ann made Avery's birthday cake and it was adorable! The party started at 3pm and at 1 o'clock Avery still had not taken a nap. At that point it was impossible to even keep trying. The party was a hit and she looked adorable in her birthday outfit from Mimi. (Thank you for everything you did to make it special!) By 4:30, Avery was completely worn out and ready for her nap...when I say READY, I mean READY! She fell fast asleep while realxing on top of the chair. It was so cute!
