Miss Ava Jean's First Birthday!!!

My little Ava turned one on the fifteenth. I can't believe the year flew by so fast it feels like yesterday that we brought her home and now she is growing up so fast. It is fun to watch her grow and show her little personality. Here are a few things that we love about you Ava of course there are to many to list them all:

Your big wet slobbery kisses.

Your huge hugs and the way you love to snuggle.

The way that you want to do everything Myla does. It is fun to watch you two together.

I love your little laugh it is so funny and contagious.

I love how you get so excited when Daddy comes home from work. All you want is for him to hold you and tickle you.

and last but not least we love having you in our family you brighten our life's. We Love You !!!

We let her start the day off early and had her open her presents as soon as she woke up.

She got this fun little horse that sings and she was so excited to get on it that she couldn't even wait for Daddy to finish putting it together!

So of course Myla was jealous of the horse and this is how I found them watching TV later that morning :)

The Party !!!!!

I am so happy that I got this picture. When Ava gets really excited she tenses up her hole body and shakes. It is so funny to watch. This time she just happened to be on Chris's shoulders. He said that she was squeezing her legs so tight around his head you can kind of see it in the picture:)

The Cake!!!!!

So, it is our family tradition to give the birthday girl a party cake of their own that they get to eat. I had a lot of fun making it and Ava had a lot of fun demolishing it!!!!!

Thank you everyone for coming and helping us celebrate Ava!!!
