Ava’s Birthday Party and Mother’s Day

We celebrated Ava’s birthday at the park last Saturday. What a beautiful day for a party! The weather was great and the party was perfect! Ava was in a good mood for the whole thing! I don’t think she knew she was having a party, but she loves being outside and eating cake, so she probably just thought it was her best day ever! We had lots of friends to celebrate with us and even some out of town family! Both grandmas were here too! My photographer friend took some great pictures, but I don’t have the files yet. I’ll post some of those when I get them, but in the meantime, here are a couple that I took.



Sunday was Mother’s Day. We had another great day as a family. I opened presents & cards in the morning and then we all went to church. Ava fell asleep on my mom and she loved it! Then we all had a yummy lunch where Ava learned how to use a spoon. She used it more as a tool to push her food around the table than as a utensil, but either way it was a new skill. Then we dropped my mom off at the airport and I met friends for some “Mom time.” We got pedicures, some ice cream, and did a little shopping. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!
