Ava's Birthday Party @ Children's Museum

Ava had her birthday party at the Tacoma Children's Museum today.  Here she is playing with her friend Keagin from preschool at the farmer's market.

Ava really enjoyed herself... and now that she's 3, the cheesy smile has emerged.

The birthday girl wanted purple cupcakes with purple sprinkles, perfect for her Tinkerbell themed birthday party =)

Mommy reading a bday card to Ava
So excited about her Cinderella barbie doll
He was asleep when the party started... and asleep before the party was over =)

So, I had planned on getting a picture of Ava with her grandparents and aunt and uncle, and one of her with Kyle and me, but with all the business of making sure the party went smoothly, I forgot.  But I did want to make sure to thank them for all the help today with preparing the food and entertaining Carter the whole time so I could follow Ava around and take pictures.  It was much appreciated, and she really enjoyed her party and having everyone there to help her celebrate!
