Tea Parties and Princess Dresses

Seriously, what is more fun than tea parties and princess dresses?? When you've turning 5, nothing! :) Ava had the best birthday party at her dance studio! She wanted all of her friends to dress in princess dresses and they had a tea party/dance party.

Our little princess decided to dress in Cinderella's wedding dress (in case you were confused by the veil and bouquet) :)

What is a tea party without petit fours?

And cupcakes...they are 5!

Oh, I love this girl

Not so great group shot

Time for presents!

I can't believe my sweet little Ava Grace is 5 years old!  I have so many mixed emotions about this.  Having a 5 year old makes me feel really old.  Aren't I just a kid myself??  How in the world did I turn into a 30 year old with a 5 year old child?!?

How did Ava go from this...

to this...

Happy Birthday my precious Ava Grace.  I can't wait to see what the next 5 years will bring.
