Ava turns 2!!!!!

 Our ferocious little Ava turned 2 this week and we had so much fun celebrating her big birthday!

Ava started her birthday with a muffin and two candles!

 
She was so cute all dressed up for school.  In the afternoon, dad surprised the kids at daycare with cupcakes!

 After school, we went to Chik-Fil-A for dinner and then had a family movie night watching Despicable Me II and eating popcorn!

Saturday was Ava's party and we had a small Yo Gabba Gabba party with all her cousins.



 Yo Gabba Party Dress
 Opening presents... with lots of help.
 Always hugs for Ezra!

 


Ava needed a little help from Sam to blow out the candles.


Our little Peanut is two years old - how time flies!  She brings so much joy into our lives and we could not imagine life without her.  Ava is always snuggling in mom's lap and waking her up every morning is a highlight as she is still my little girl.  Ava is Sam's best friend and they are best buddies - they also get into a lot of trouble together and make a lot of messes!  Watching them together is the best thing ever!  Ava is such a blessing to all of us and we loved being able to celebrate her special day with her!

Party at school

 Daddy surprised Ava with cupcakes at school so she could celebrate with her friends.
