Birthdays and Baby Showers

March has been a busy month for us! We celebrated my little sister's baby-on-the-way with a fun shower sporting a Where the Wild Things Are theme. I think I have all of 2 pics from it.

Kelly, my sister's BFF since childhood (seriously, we have some amazing pictures of them from kindergarten or so), and her precious cutie, Hudson. They drove in from Abilene for the shower. Kelly is like another sister to us. 

We went back to Houston the next weekend to celebrate our niece's 1st birthday - can't believe she's 1 already!!! Sophie is just the sweetest thing ever, and the most laid-back baby at a birthday party. My girls both cried at their first birthday party. 

Julie is a master party-planner - she did an amazing job decorating for Sophie's party and my sister's baby shower the weekend before.

Avery kept peeking inside the pinata (she called it a piano)  to see what loot was there. She kept calling dibs on items.

Avery wrote her own name on the bubble. The pic of us is AWFUL because of the bright sun and the wind and having to awkwardly hold her up so she'd be in the pic. 

My brother made this Jenga game (our niece's full name is Sophie Jaye, hence the Jayenga)

Sophie wasted no time diving into her cake. She posed for a couple pics before happily munching on her cake.

Jewelry and candy, all in one!
