Happy Birthday Ava Grace!!

Today is Ava's second birthday. I cannot even believe it has been 2 years already! Things really have changed.

Here is Ava the day she was born.


Her first birthday


And yesterday at her birthday party


She is growing up way too fast, especially when she can tell you she is 2! She had a lot of fun at her party yesterday. She is having a second party in my hometown with her cousin Claire (one week older) in a few weeks, so don't think you weren't invited to her party (my family)! :)

We all know Ava is a little camera shy, but here are some pictures from yesterday. There were 119 pictures to choose from, so I had to narrow it down a bit.

Ava started off the morning with a chocolate and cream cheese kolache. She thought it was the best! We gave her one balloon ahead of time and she had to take it everywhere with her!




Here is a little shot of the goodies before everyone arrived


Hanging out in her playroom trying to get away from everyone :)


We set her up there to take a picture of her with her cake, but she kept sticking her fingers in and eating it.


Mmmmm...that's good.




Isn't her crown cute??



Finally...a piece of cake




Our one family picture from the day. She looks thrilled to be taking pictures with her parents.


She loved her rolling backpack she got from Aunt Donna and Uncle Tony!




Do you think she is proud of herself?




She wasn't sure what to think when everyone started singing to her!


Just a couple random pictures not from her birthday. As soon as Ava wakes up in the morning she starts asking for shoes and a bow. She loves to be stylish! Here she is the other day in her pajamas with her pink bow and pink boots.


She doesn't have time for us. She has places to go!
