Ava's turns Two.....Candy for everyone!!
A long overdue entry......but better late than never.
We celebrated Ava's 2nd birthday
March 2, 2012 with a Candyland theme. Last year she was an innocent
ballerina with no idea what was going on....
fast forward to this year and she has already perfected the
I-just-did-something-I-wasn't-suppose-to-but-its-okay-because-it's-my-birthday look!!
Again....we like to consume entire weeks with birthday celebrations and this milestone would be no different. We danced on the rock and celebrated spring coming early....
got dirty and looked to big brother Tyler for a helping hand.
And what celebration would be complete in New England without a
forecast change to snow the day before the party. Enter Grandpy to the rescue
for a little pre-party sleding.
And as Tyler was distracted outside and Ava was taking a nap
Mommy had a chance to think about how things changed from this....
to this....
from this....
to this.....
and then I decided I had better pull myself together before guests started to arrive.
The big day was a success....starting with chocolate chip pancakes....
a wardrobe change to a cute little dress that Meme bought her
(eventhough Mommy had a cute little birthday girl shirt ready for her.....
this was the outfit she had to have!)
We even ordered a "simple" cake from a local bakery....candyland themed and totally chocolate...
it would have been awesome if my loving husband had just put it on the floor
when driving it home instead of tilted...on the front seat....just begging for disaster!!
Luckily it tasted fantastic and for a 2 year old who loves chocolate that's all that mattered...
She opened gifts...
laughed with cousins....
and enjoyed every minute of her special day.
Happy Birthday Ava!!
