5 years old at last

Each year birthday celebrations are more and more fun! The 5th is quite a milestone, of course, but the age 5 is just plain cool! Ava picked her birthday theme, assisted with the invitations, etc. My baby has style and knows what she wants. She is beginning to enjoy being celebrated. This is the first year she allowed us to sing Happy Birthday to her! She sat quietly, with a shy grin on her face as she soaked it all in...then blew out the candles! She even allowed herself to take the first hit on the pinata. I love that she is blossoming, becoming who she wants to be and determining her path. I look forward to every minute of everyday with my angel!
