Ava's Birthday!

Ava turned 7!

Her actual birthday was planned out with a school performance so she got to party the day before by having her friend over to play

and then she got to go on a date with Aunt Cathrine that she loves so much!  

 On her birthday morning opening presents.

 And for breakfast- crepes. 

 I got to see her at school and brought dum-dum suckers for her class.  

After school her class performed a Christmas program at an assisted living home.  They sang, played songs with bells, and recited a poem they had memorized about Christmas.  It was a neat opportunity.   I would love to know how cool Ava thinks she looks while playing in this song.  Her tapping foot cracks me up.  I know she loved it. 

After that the birthday girl picked Texas Roadhouse for dinner so she could sit on this saddle.  Pretty cute.  

Then we came home and had family over to celebrate Ava! 

Near the end of this video you can see her cute toothless giggle and Isaac trying as hard as he can to blow out her candles.  

Then she got spoiled with presents.  Lucky girl.

We love our sweetheart Ava!  She's a ball of get-it-done-now energy.  She's a sweet sister and makes our house so much more fun!  She has a big heart and is good to share her things and loves to visit our older neighbor around the corner and take him treats.  We love our Ava girl.  Happy Birthday Ava!
