I'm 3 and I'll do what I want!

Ava has never been one for the camera. We just went hiking on Sunday morning and when she saw me pull the camera out she said, "no pictures, mommy!" Really? You're only 3! But, like I said, she's never been one for the camera. As a matter of fact, I took her Christmas photo last year and took almost 400 photos to get the "perfect" shot. This year, we had a photographer come to the house and our sweet little Ava refused to cooperate. Does it look Christmas card worthy? I think not. Smile little girl!

3 years old!

Our angel is three years old already. This year was different than any other year in that she really understood what Birthday's are all about. She knew she would be the one celebrated and she was excited about it beyond belief. Also, because we just moved into our new house on her Birthday weekend, she was celebrated multiple times. Way to go, Ava! We had a #3 pinata in our front yard for the neighbor children Labor Day weekend, Ava had cupcakes at grace Garden with her classmates, then...we had a pizza party with her cousins and Brentwood neighborhood friends the following weekend...followed yet by another pinata at the house. Whew...it was a week long celebration and tons of fun!
