ava is 8!

Time is going by too fast!  My sweet baby girl is eight years old today.  Ava, you continue to bless me, your Dad, and your brother each day.  I am grateful beyond words for the Lord's gift of you in our life.  I pray that you will know each day that you are loved. You are loved by your family, you are loved by those special people you call 'friend', and most importantly...never forget..you are loved by the Lord.  You are His.  He chose you.

For her birthday Ava wanted to have her cousin Charlotte come for a sleep over!  This was her first time having a friend over, she was just a little excited.  But before we get there...let's begin at the end.  Her last night of being seven.  Sweet sleeper.

Birthday breakfast and presents. This year I let each kiddo choose any cereal they wanted. Neither chose Wheaties. Her poison of choice? Coooookie Crisp!
(thanks Uncle Seth for the Shirley Temple movies!)


Birthday dinner of fettuccine, asparagus, and grapes.  Then "Frozen" cupcakes!
