Happy Birthday to Our 2 Year Old Irish Princess!

I love that Ava's birthday falls during Spring Break, Justin is always off and I took the day off so we could celebrate our precious 2 year old. We started off the day by singing "Happy Birthday" in bed when she woke up. We sang it several times as she shouted out "faster", "bigger", "tiny" and we attempted to sing the song according to her requests. Such a bossy little 2 year old we have, wonder where she gets that from! Then we let her open her presents from us in the bed. She loved her ballerina costume with matching outfit for her baby. She also got her first charm bracelet with a clover charm to commemerate her St. Patrick's Day birthday and her own jewelry box that plays her favorite song, The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy which she refers to as Nutcracker. Ava Kate loves chocolate donuts probably even more than her mommy so we had a breakfast of warm AM chocolate donuts. Grandma came over and gave Ava her new purple tricycle complete with sunshade and horn! Nana and Grandma joined us for lunch at Mr. Gatti's and Ava loved the bowling. After lunch we went to The Grace Museum and played for a while in the tot center. After all that playing mommy and Ava were both ready for a nap before Ava's family birthday dinner. Since Ava loves hamburgers Nana and Pop grilled hamburgers and made homemade french fries and then we finished the night off with chocolate cupcakes which Ava had requested. Then Ava opened her doctor's kit and Fancy Nancy doll from Nana and Pop and her silky Fancy Nancy PJ's from Aunt Natalie and the boys. It was a perfect way to spend the day celebrating our sweet 2 year old!

These pictures are so sweet! I cannot believe she is two already! Just like I cannot believe that my baby is about to turn 3. Time surely flies. We love you Ava Kate!
