Ava turns 3!!!

Birthday Butterflies!
On October 1st, Ava turned three years old. In the days leading up to her birthday, she would often break into song "Happy Birthday to you..." each time ending with a ferocious blowing of imaginary candles.


Somewhere between 5:30 and 5:45 am on Thursday morning, she bounded into our bedroom ready to open presents and begin the great celebration! We went to Java House for an early breakfast, and Ava wore a pretty pink dress that she had received as a gift. It was Mickey Mouse pancakes for all!Then after dropping her big brother and sister off to school, Ava arrived at Potter House with mommy's birthday cookies to share with her classmates.


After school, she helped mommy make pizza as Emma finished her swim practice. But by 5:30 pm, poor little Ava was feeling pretty tuckered out. Our friends Mel and Kerry dropped in for pizza and cake, but our little birthday girl had a real struggle staying awake through supper. Even after a break to open a few presents, Ava was done in. She was fast asleep before she had a chance to blow out her "real" candles.

Super birthday yawn!
