Ava's 3rd

Ava is a very happy little 3 year old (of course she has her moments but overall she is a happy, fun loving kid). I am constantly having people come and tell me what a cutie she is and how she is just so bubbly. She has the best facial expressions and hand gestures…she is very dynamic and full of energy. 

Grandma Jones came for a visit to see Hannah and was able to be here for Ava's actually birthday. We didn't do a full celebration until a couple of days later (after Grandma left) because of a crazy day and Ken working.

Here are pictures of Ava opening her present from Grandma and Grandpa Jones.

Our taste testers making sure the cake batter tastes OK.

Oh, I wish you could see Ava's face better. She was SO excited. She loves princesses.

A hug from Caden.

I think Kailyn is mad its not her birthday.

The suspense is killing Ava. She can't wait to open her next present.

Hug for Dad.

Ava showing everyone how she is going to blow out the candles.

Lighting the candles.

Ava loves having the 'Happy Birthday' song sung to her. I think it has to do with the fact that she loves being the center of attention.
