Happy Birthday, sweet Ava!


Ava turned 3 last week! I can't believe how fast she's growing up...she's already started liking Hannah Montana and High School Musical stuff more than her dolls and princess toys! I thought that would start happening when she was like 5 or 6...or 7? She's been such a blessing to our family! She's our little miss sunshine, and makes us laugh many times each day. We love you sis!
Some fun facts about Ava:
-She would rather munch on veggies and fruit than eat a piece of candy...with the exception of Gum! She would have a piece in her mouth every second of the day if I let her, and even sneaks pieces into her bed at night, which I usually find the next morning on her pillow or in her hair! One of the presents she got was a gum ball machine, which we bought thinking that maybe if she had one she could learn some self-control...but that didn't really happen. With some help from Cael and the neighbor kids, it already needs a refill!
-She loves to sing and dance, but once she sees anyone looking at her while she's performing, she'll say; "Don't see me!".
-She is such a peace maker at our house, she'll give into Cael's requests EVERY time. Lately, she has a rope permanently tied around her waist from the time Cael gets home from school till she goes to bed...he likes to pretend he's Santa, and she's one of his reindeer, they run from room to room "delivering presents". Even though I don't really think she enjoys it that much, she wouldn't have it any other way because she knows it makes him happy.
-Sometimes in the middle of the night she likes to go downstairs and climb into bed with Cael. She used to come and get into our bed, but I would always take her back to her own. Cael is such a deep sleeper he never even knows she's there until he wakes up the next morning, but is always happy to see her.
-She's such a smart girl, and knows how to count to 20 and sing her ABC's. She's really excited to enter Primary in January, mainly because now she can go to the same place Cael does, instead of being dropped off in the nursery.
Happy Birthday Ava!
