Ava's 2!

My baby girl turned 2 last Saturday.  It was a rainy birthday, but I think she had a great day.  

Started off the day with a delicious breakfast (recipe coming soon for these amazing berry muffins).  Ava loves when all the attention is on her, so whenever we sang happy birthday to her she just beamed. 

Grant didn't care about Ava turning 2, but he did love the muffins.

Twiners - enjoying some M&M's 

Opening her sleeping bag.  She also got a chair and swing. 

The swing was a big hit.  Now the problem is that all the kids fight over who gets to use it. 

All the 'helpers', helping Ava open her present.

Ava's butterfly cake

I spent all week on those silly butterflies, and like it always go, the end result wasn't quite like I imagined.  It turned out cute, but I ran out of time with the actual cake part.  I didn't want to cover it with fondant this time, so I was going to try a cool design with cool whip.  Anyway, I didn't get to do the cool whip part because of time. Oh well, Ava thought it was pretty cool.

Blowing out her candles.  Notice Grant blowing them out as well.

Yummy cake (I'll post this recipe too)

Ava's other birthday present - her throne.

(The pictures look grainy on this post.  I think it's blogger, but we'll see how it looks tomorrow.)
