3 years already


Our sweet girl turned 3 this past week.  Since I wasn't (still not) sure when Brody would arrive, we didn't plan a party.  But we did spread our her birthday as much as we could and tried to make her still feel as special and celebrated as possible!

Clint's mom and husband came over for supper one night and they brought her a "Minnie" birthday and a "black" cake, which is chocolate in Ava's world.

My aunt gave her her present at church the next day.

The day before her birthday, we took her to our local bakery and let her pick out a cupcake of her choice.


We opened presents, made tacos for supper (one of her favorites).


Then it was time to blow out the 3 candles on her "wedding cake" cupcake! 
Clint and I both had to work on her actual birthday, but she opened presents at my parent's house and got to blow out another round of candles. 


I'm pretty sure she had a fantastic few DAYS of birthday celebration. 
After Brody decides to arrive, we will have the family over to celebrate her birthday and see the new man in the family. 

Wow, does time fly.  She is the best kid and we are so blessed to have her in our lives!
