2nd Birthday Party

It's a wonderful life

Loving on Daddy

Dancing with Daddy in the kitchen while Mommy cuts veggies and fruit for the birthday party.

After a night in her crib, Ava snuggles in the morning next to Daddy. As you can see there was no room for Mommy.

Riding on the horsey before the big fun begins at the Jumping Party!

Bouncing with the balls

All smiles...except the birthday girl. She didn't want to take pictures, she wanted to play!

Many sweet friends and family members helped us celebrate Ava's second birthday! Aunt Jaryn, Coach, Mimi, Lea, Emma, Aiden, Holly, Rhonda, Braiden, Aunt Sarah, Papa, Uncle Brandon, Baba, Pops, Cam, Ryan, Kristyn, Seth, Lisa, Jonah, Mommy, Daddy, Sarah, Ray, Hannah, Uncle Nate, Todd, Eli, Beth, Isaac, Nanny, Theresa (Tammy, Zach, Leah, and Jack who weren't in the group picture).

Since they don't make Thomas stuff for girls, Beene Beene made Ava a Thomas dress! Ava is a girl who loves trains, so we're glad she was able to celebrate with all of her favorite characters from the Island of Sodor.

"Peep peep! Happy birthday Ava," said Thomas.

Ava enjoyed a very Thomas birthday party.

Josh gave me a green icing kiss.

Ava enjoys some refreshments after jumping.

Thanks to everyone who made this a great second birthday for Ava! If you have cute pictures from the party please send them my way, I'd love to include them.
