Happy Birthday Ava

Ava is 7!!!!!!

 Birthdays for Ava are always a little bitter sweet for me. 

I LOVE to celebrate her.

I still mourn the birthdays we lost.

Maybe one day I wont feel that sense of loss when he birthday rolls around but for now, I do. 

I love to take special pictures of the kids on their bday.

I am not too happy with how these turned out.

My nice camera is in the shop so this is just with the point and shoot :( 

She still looks gorgeous of course!

But the color is...bla.

Ava is wearing a beautiful Rapunzel dress, handmade by her Grandma.

The big Rapunzel Birthday Bash is this Saturday.  

SO now for the details of the day...

Ava had the day off of school and I really did not know what we could do to make the day wonderful!

She woke up to see the Happy Birthday banner hanging in the house and her presents all waiting for her.

She got the Leap Frog Tag Pen and books. 

She loves them! 

I then took a deep breathe and decided that I would take the kids, by myself, to Disneyland for the day.

It was so fun...to my surprise.

She got a special button that said "Happy Birthday Ava" and everyone wished her a wonderful day.

She really hated the attention (yeah right!!)

  

That night we met Daddy at Farrells for a yummy dinner and more crazy celebration.

And then the kids and the Mama were incredibly tired and crashed :-)

 

Happy Birthday to YOU Sissy!
