FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTIES!!!!!

It was a great night! Seven Liabenows, five Luke Rumleys, two Stauchs and four Tim Rumleys joined together to make one exciting night. The birthday party was shared by Ava & Logan. Both babies turned one. Logan's family are good friends of Luke's family. Logan's older sister, Tayler, is Grace's best friend. Dinner was served first, two kinds of pasta, salad, garlic bread and punch.

Everyone helped in the set-up. Emily made the punch. Several ladies made the pasta, garlic bread and the salad. It was scrumptious.

After eating, we watched Logan & Ava eat their special chocolate cakes. Logan cried - I guess he doesn't like chocolate OR getting his hands dirty. His momma had to wash his hands before he would continue. Ava, however, dug right in. First, she delicately ate the frosting. She has no fear of chocolate. Then she ate HUGE chunks of cake with frosting. That's Tayler looking on.

Such a serious face - don't mess with HER cake!

Then it was bathtime. The two children took baths in the church's kitchen sink (it was a double sink - how nice of them to build it just for the two children). Ava wanted to escape the bath water. She cried. We all thought that she was crying because she thought someone was going to throw the rest of her cake out. But, the moms cleaned up their babies and headed to the gift opening.

Ava's favorite present (FOOD!).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVA & LOGAN!!!!!
