Look at ME, I'm 3!

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY AVA

We started Ava's birthday with a BIG present from Grandma and Grandpa Robison. It was every little girls dream castle, for her princesses. I have never ever pushed princesses on Ava, I made sure she had a lot of other things to choose between. I don't girlify her out or dress her in only pink or do her hair in amazing up do's, but she decided Princesses (Belle especially) are her favorite things, 2nd only to chocolate milk!

The birthday party was a couple of days later. We had just moved into our new home and it was a struggle to get everything into a new spot and ready for company. In the end I was half prepared and half a headless chicken. Ava invited 3 little girls and their families (with 3 little babies) needless to say it was a full house. The girls started out by making a magnetic winter snowman, which turned out so cute. I had made little kits for each girl, to try and reduce chaos and mess but things still got a little crazy.

We had pulled pork sandwiches with fruit and vegetables. Super easy and delicious! Instead of a cake I just made cupcakes. They could have been better but I left plastic wrap over them, to keep them from drying out and instead they gummed up. Icing hides all mistakes!

The girls sang happy birthday to Ava and they all wanted to blow out the birthday train candles. This is the only picture I have of all the girls. It reminds me of the pictures my mother took of us on our birthdays. Thank you to Amelia, Justice and Aurora for making Ava's birthday special.

Then it was present time! (when all the little girls just want to play with the present they brought) What an awesome birthday!

After everyone left we cleaned up and played with her new Belle dress and Mrs. Potts tea set.

Then Ava decided to dress up Papa. What a good sport, he wore it for the rest of the night just for Ava.

Time for bed and her new Mini Mouse jammies.

Thank You to everyone who helped us celebrate and made Ava's 3rd birthday special. I was defiantly in a different place this year compared to last. Last year I cried knowing we had no friends and no one to invite over. Hating every minute living in the UK and just wanting things to be back to "Germany" normal. This year was a blast and I'm grateful I was able to share it with good friends.
