What a fun day friends of Avery and Alexis Cornett had last Saturday! It was a beautiful day, just perfect for a huge cowboy themed birthday celebration! The two sisters and a corral full of friends had a blast playing several games made by their dad Shane! Hay bales, mop horses, cowboy hats, and frisky baby goats were just a few of the things that made the day special. Happy Birthday Alexis and Avery!
