Ava's Ice Cream Party

I decided to have a little ice cream party for some of our friends to celebrate Ava turning 2 on Jan 19th. She loves ice cream! And she was trying to lick her cup out after she ate it all! Thanks to all our friends who spoiled her with lots of girly gifts.

Trip to Idaho

The kids and I flew up to Idaho the weekend before Ava turned 2 to celebrate her birthday and see family. Our flight left at 7am, so we were there bright and early! Eli started crying after the airplane took off and was gripping the arm rests so tight. He was on a window seat so I'm not sure if he was scared of how far up we were or what. Poor kid! He has never done that before, but he kept saying he wanted to go back home. Ava did pretty good sitting on my lap. The girl sitting next to me was so nice and let the kids play fruit ninja on her itouch. When we landed Eli said, "Mom, look at all the snow!" This was pretty funny since there was hardly any snow. So strange to be in Idaho in January and have no snow! The kids loved visiting grandma & Auntie Jill at school. We ate lunch with them and then went to GG's to play. They had a blast playing in the snow. We celebrated Ava's birthday at Craigo's pizza buffet with my family & Kaelub's mom, Denny, & McKenzie. I made ballet tutu cupcake toppers and tried a new recipe for chocolate peanutbutter cupcakes. She was spoiled with gifts & attention. It went by too fast, but we loved seeing everyone!
