As we started the day, Ava had a special present for Hayden so she wouldn't feel left out and ignored all day. Ava picked out a cute pet pillow (frog) for Hayden to take naps on. (I am sure we will need to find one for Ava real soon :0)). Here Hayden is telling her sister thank you for her special new pillow.

As her party began, Ava was soaking up all the attention. We passed out the party hats and amazingly Ava kept her's on for most of the party. The hardest part was trying to get her to pose for a picture because she was going around showing everyone her special hat. She really knew it was her special day! I love how grown up she looks in this picture!

Here is a picture of Ava's birthday cake. She had her own cake but this was the one for the guests to eat.

At first, she was a little hesitant to dig in to the cake. But, once she got started, there was no stopping her. She mainly went for the icing and it ended up all over her face! She loved it! Happy Birthday Ava! This is one of the only times it is ok to play with your food! :O)
