More Birthday Fun

We celebrated Ava's birthday with her friends and family in Columbus over the weekend. She LOVES to swing at the park, so the family decided to pitch in and buy a swingset for the back yard. It took Grampa, Daddy, and Jack all night Friday and all Saturday afternoon to put it together. We went to great lengths to keep it a surprise, including shipping her off to Mimi's house to spend the night.

Once it was all put together, we brought Ava outside to see it. She didn't even notice it until she got about 10 feet away. Then she said "I want to swing!" About 5 minutes later it really seemed to sink in because she started jumping up and down in excitement. We've been swinging every day since!

It was nearly impossible to get Ava off the swings, so we brought the party to her.

The adults enjoyed the swingset too!

Cake was the only thing that could coax Ava off the swingset, especially the doll cake that Mimi made.



Everyone had a great time!
