Ava's 5th Birthday: Part 2 Gift Opening

Opening her first gift

She looks a little excited she got rollerskates! 

 

Hello Kitty!  She sleeps with this every night now
 

 With all three of her gifts including her new American Girl, McKenna

Trying out the skates

Ava & McKenna

Someone else had to try out the skates...
Ava loves her presents this year!  She was so animated when she was opening gifts.  The skates are going to take some practice, but I know she'll master them.  She loves her McKenna doll and Hello Kitty too!

Ava's 5th Birthday

 We were a little burned out on cake, so I talked Ava into making a giant cookie which wasn't too difficult

 

 

We had to trap Owen on the ledge to get him to take a picture with his sister 

Pretty excited we are going to sing! 

 

Holding her 5 fingers up!

On Ava's actual birthday, we spent the evening at home.  We had one of Ava's favorite meals and then enjoyed cake and presents in the basement.  She was pretty excited!
