Ava's Birthday Party

Tonight we had Ava's family birthday party. We moved it up early because tomorrow we are headed to Mystic Aquarium with our friends for the day.

She got some great presents and is loved so much. 

Nana got her all the Skylanders on her list. I loved how Nana said the boy at Toys R Us was happy to help once he saw the list in her own handwriting.

She also got the awesomest Shark from her sister which will be perfect for our trip tomorrow. 

Chelsea's gift is pretty neat as it was a tradition in her family and now she is sharing it with Ava and it supports her love of animals. She started her ceramic animal collection with 2 cats who look like Addy and a promise to take her shopping so she can pick out her own. 

Finally she opened my gift. I could never have done this without Gramma and Nana. 

So in 10 days we head to the Great Wolf Lodge. When she read these cards and realized what it was she hugged me and cried. Which means I cried. It was the sweetest thing ever. 

God I love this kid. When we got home we hung up all these stars over her bed so she can pull them down to count down the days! 

I am also more grateful than I could ever express to both of these women. I know as Mom's they understand the need to do anything possible to give their kids what they want and I love them for helping me do this for my girls. 

Ava Flava welcome the the 9's!! About 1am she finally came into the World and hasn't stopped since.
