Ava and her big girl bike
She was so excited that she immediately rode it around the house

We surprised Ava, putting her bike in her room
Ava, Naffie and Jill, the hostess at the diner

They were so good to Ava, we go there all the time. They made her this special cake, we had nothing to do with planning it. They are great people

Ava celebrating her birthday at her daycare



Ava just woke up, first pictures as a three year old!

Every year we take her picture in the morning when she is still asleep
We celebrated Ava's 3rd birthday--a lot! Once on her birthday, we brought cupcakes to her daycare. Then we went to the diner, they were so nice to her. They surprised us with a special cake and balloon. When we got home we had Ava's princess bike hiding in her room. She loved it!

We had two parties, one with friends and one with family. The weather was great for one and freezing for the other!

It is always fun celebrating birthdays! I always am especially grateful for Ava's birth mom on her birthday. We love you Claudia for your gift of this child...
