Ava turned four on Friday, and we spent the weekend celebrating. On Friday she had preschool and got to bring a treat and wear a crown, and the kids all sang "Happy Birthday" to her - she loved it! We took her out for dinner, and she got to choose the restaurant; no big surprise, she chose Noodles (Mommy was thrilled, Daddy not so much), and as usual, polished off her mac 'n' cheese.
On Saturday, Grandma, Grandpa, Grandma Twila and Grandpa Bud came for the afternoon. We had lunch and opened presents and hung out. Ava asked for "princess stuff" this year...well, let's just say: "ask and ye shall receive!"
And, on Sunday, Oma came for the afternoon, and we had a party for Ava at Perpetual Motion, a gym here in Woodbury. She invited nine friends, and they all ran and climbed and jumped like crazy for an hour, and had red cheeks and sweaty hair to prove it!
Then they enjoyed some Cinderella cake and ice cream and opened gifts. Ava had a blast - she enjoyed every minute and is now thoroughly enjoying all of the great gifts her friends brought for her - thank you again everyone!!!
I can't believe our little girl is four - it seems so old! She has definitely grown into a sweet, smart and funny little girl, who I also think has to be the best big sister around. We love you, Ava!!!
