Birthday Celebration

Ava's birthday was on Saturday! It was a good day (much less painful than the one five years ago)!

We're tallying her Coral Reef funds and will update soon about how much she raised. I'm so proud of her! Thank you, everyone, for your support.

The fantastically fabulous cake I made for Ava :-)

Birthday dinner...

Home for cake and presents...

A long time ago Zsa Zsa gave Ava the Disney movie, "The Princess and the Frog" and Ava took one look at the DVD cover and decided that the movie looked scary. She refused to watch it and said that she would be brave enough once she turned five. Well, she didn't forget. After her birthday celebrations she snuggled up next to me on the couch to watch the movie. She watched the whole thing and decided that it's not scary...

(note: she had trouble falling asleep that night so...)
