Owen was very into opening gifts this year and wanted to get right down and play with every gift. He loved all the trucks, tractor, power tools, and other vehicles. All his gifts were a big hit!
Ava with her Dr. Mommy doll from Grandma Chris- she loved it as she loves anything to do with the medical profession.

I'd say our birthday party was a success this year. We planned the party for after Owen's nap on Saturday. He was up and cheerful, so that was a good start to the party. I made pulled pork sandwiches, a fruit salad of Ava and Owen's favorite fruits, and we had chips. Both kids seemed to really like the meal (or were overly hungry). We sang Happy Birthday to each of them and they both had such priceless expressions. Ava just loved the spotlight and Owen even had a sly little smile. Probably the biggest surprise was that Owen blew out his candles without any hesitation. We hadn't even talked to him about it or practiced it. The kids had so much fun playing with the grandparents and cousins. They loved all their gifts and have played with their toys for hours and hours. Everyone did such a great job of picking things out that they like. Thank you to everyone who came and shared in their special day. Ava can't wait for her real "actual" birthday now!
