Ava's 3rd Birthday

Our birthday girl!  We spent the day visiting daddy at work and going out for pizza with our good friends, the Glenn's.  Ava opened a lot of presents from not only mommy, daddy and Andrew but from lots of generous family members and friends!  As always, we are overwhelmed with everyone's kindness and generosity.  Thank you for the calls, cards and presents!  We ended the day with this giant cupcake cake that Andrew and I decorated!  Check out our pictures to see our fun day!

Mommy's girl!

Opening presents with her new dress-up Ariel shoes on and necklace from mom and dad!

The cute OSU dress!

A bathing suit cover-up from Great Auntie Weezie and the Carr's...  

So many fun princess themed presents from Auntie Weezie and the Carr's!  Plus a 'Mater' bag for Andrew!   Thank you so much! 

We saved the best for last... Ava REALLY wanted a 'big girl bike' for her birthday so she could ride bikes with Andrew!  

One requirement for her bike was that it have a spot for her baby dolls! 

There were more boxes waiting on our doorstop when we got home from dinner...  Nannie, Papa and Auntie Ashlie's boxes arrived just in time for Ava's birthday!   Skyping with Nannie and Papa as the kids open both their birthday and 'un-birthday' presents!  Thank you so much for all the great presents!

Ava loves her Olivia backpack from Auntie, Uncle Aaron, Justin and Addison... thanks for the great presents! 

The cake was so moist that it was just falling apart!  The kids didn't seem to care and it tasted just as yummy!

Happy 3rd Birthday to our sweet Princess Ava!
