We witness a mircle everytime a child enters into life. But those who make their journey home across time and miles, growing within the hearts of those who will love them, are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's own hands --K. Larson

Party Pictures

Everyone just relaxing, the weather was beautiful!



Some of our family..


The birthday girl on her way outside, she was asleep at the beginningAva in her Abby Costume loving it!

snow cones and popcorn, who needed real food! A huge thank you to Marcy and Mystery who worked the machine and helped with countless other things yesterday!

Peter and Amanda in the sandbox



Opening presents, she loved the chair she got that she is sitting in

The new toddler ATV from Grandma and Grandpa


Miss Thing in her new shades
How cool are these Elmo cupcakes? Mia and Tanya made them...


Ava clapped as everyone was singing to her


A little pool time

Pinata time...


Grandma, Grandpa and their grandchildren

She pushes this with her feet, the button scares her for right now

After the party, the princess lounged in her new chair...not nearly as exhausted as mommy!
We had a great day for Ava's party. It was supposed to be on Saturday but with all the reports of rain we moved it to Sunday. Thank goodness, it would have been a mess otherwise. I woke up Ava really early so she would nap before her party and it worked. She went to bed and the backyard was normal and then she woke up and there was everyone she knows and balloons, etc. poor little thing was so confused.

Ava was not into opening presents, I'm sure next year will be a different story. She was quite content with her popcorn and snow cones. I was impressed that she allowed so many little kids to play with her things. It's not usually how she rolls!

It was so nice for so many people to celebrate with us! Tomorrow is Ava's 2 year check up. At 18 months she was 23 lbs, we'll see where she is now...

It was two years ago today that I got my referral call about Ava.
