Ava's Birthday

I was contemplating haveing a princess birthday party for Ava this year, she is so social and loves to have other girls around and I thought it would be fun, but parties are a lot of work, and since she was going to a Daddy daughter princess party the following weekend I figured a family party this year would be fine.

We did our typical tradition of some dollar store items I set our for all the kids to play with in the morning and balloons


I got pin the crown on the princess for them to play and a pinata


Ava in the morning in her birthday princess crown and jewels!


Carter having fun with the balloons




The great thing for her was her birthday was on a Saturday which meant Dad was home so she didn't have to wait until he got home to open her gifts!



Her Belle doll with matching dress for her to wear

And a trunk of Dress up clothes


Hear she is modeling all of her dress-ups because she made sure she had a chance to wear them all!








I ventured out and tried to make a princess Tiana cake for her, It turned out pretty well, I thought it would be fun to make strawberry cake because it was pink, but we will never do that again, the kids thought it was fine, but me and Jordan hated it!

Here they are playing with their "party favors".  One of the things I got was a kit that showed us how to make balloon toys, Jordan figured out how to do a few of them, mine are the awesome hats they are wearing or my failed attempts at trying to make anything!



Blowing bubbles
 




Carter loved the bubbles

Her awesome balloon hat! =)

Our traditional birthday breakfast of champions...donuts!







Pin the crown on the princess, Gavin did it first and pined it perfectly, he must have been cheating!! He says he couldn't see....




Pinata time! It was a pull string one, but what is the fun in that!  We let them hit it a few times before we pulled the string
 



Talking to Grandma and Grandpa Smith on Skype


I took ava to her first movie, Beauty and the Beast 3d and it had a short movie of Rapunzel at the beginning, she loved it! She did really well, but I could tell towards the end she was getting tired, but she did awesome!

Cake time! She had been waiting for this all day! She loved the Tiana cake and still talks about it, makes me happy that I did that for her!
