Ava is 3!!!

Ava turned 3 years old yesterday! It's crazy how fast these kids are growing up, I can still remember her first birthday like it was yesterday. We celebrated with a party at Chuck E Cheese (not sure if we will be doing that again) and she had a pretty good time...as long as the guy dressed up like Chuck E didn't get anywhere near her! She had a Strawberry Shortcake theme which, of course, meant pink cupcakes! The kids had a great time and we enjoyed spending time with family and friends (even though the place was so loud and crazy, it was hard to hold a conversation!) Thanks also to everyone for their wonderful gifts, she loved every one of them!

Happy Birthday Ava, we love you so much!!

We let Ava open one gift early so she could wear her Strawberry Shortcake shirt for her party.

Renee was fascinated by the mechanical Chuck E !

Ava started getting shy with all the attention so Daddy helped her out.

Shyness is gone and posing like normal!

Zach flying high!

Hugs for brother for his perfect gift...Care Bears!

The kids both let each other help open presents on their birthdays, I just love that!

Because Mommy never got one as a kid...she has no idea who Snoopy is and what the heck a sno-cone machine does...

Thanks to Gaga and Papaw, Ava will be Wonder Woman for Halloween...she LOVED her own superhero costume! (Notice how she is holding up her arms to fight off bad guys, just like Gaga showed her!) Of course, Ava couldn't be the only one so Zach had to run change into Batman...my two cute little crimefighters! :)
