More Birthday Pictures

Ava's 5th birthday!

Ava came into our room as soon as the sun came up on Friday and crawled up in bed with me.  Then she sat up and said "mommy I'm 5!  I'm 5!!!  I'm 5!!"   She was so excited it was her birthday.  That night we surprised her with a sleepover with Emma, ordered cheese pizza and had cake and presents.  Steve set up a tent for them complete with pillows and lanterns upstairs.  

Yesterday we had a birthday party for her at the aquarium.  She and Brynn loved it!  

Fun in the shade

They love Ava's new princess pool.  A good end to a very busy day of hustle and bustle at the aquarium for Ava's birthday party.  Mom and dad with a glass of wine on the patio while our babies play.  

Brynn Loves

Brynn loves:

Digging in my jewelry box and putting on every piece of jewelry she can fit on her arms and fingers.

Little Einsteins!  I mean almost an obsession.

Putting things in their proper places.  She very often says "heeey dat not go dare" and moves it to its proper place and says "dare, dat go dare". 

Going to "the office".  She grabs a bag, swings it over her shoulder, puts her baby in the stroller and she's off.  "I goin to da office"

Ice water.  She shakes her sippy cup and if there is no ice, she puts in her request.

Taking showers.  Both girls love the shower.

Riding in Ava's car seat.

So cute I had to post

How cute is our little nephew Elias??  He turned 4 months today and is already a gymnast.

Sushi Night

We took the girls to have sushi.  Of course they just had chicken and rice, but we were so impressed that they actually used the kiddie chopsticks!
