2nd Birthday Party- Part 3 Family

Ava's party would not have been complete without some of the people that love and adore her most, her grandparents. Bpop and Nana were greatly missed, along with Aunt Alli, Greg and Mimi, but we were so excited to have the other 5 grandparents,1 great grandparent, and Aunt Bri there with us. Since all of them live out of town and don't get to see her often I know it must particularly hard on weekends like this when they are only here for a short time and they have to "share" her with each other and her other friends.

Gramielle and Papa Jim
Love this one of them two!

After the party the grandparents came back to the house with us and Ava opened up her presents

She has a new love for baby dolls and she got two new ones along with all kinds of baby accessories (which has forced me to get more organized with storing her toys)

Ava and her two crazy grandmothers, Kay Kay and Gigi.

Funny how Mikey and I have mothers who are so similar in personality yet neither one of us got their "outgoing" genes.

Ava got several cards with money in them and much to my surprise she knew exactly what it was and immediately snatched it up and took off. Aparently she didnt need to open any more gifts after that!

Showing Daddy all her money

Ava with her Papa Mike and Granny Jean

She had to show Papa how she jumps on the ottoman. Yes, I am a horrible mother and let my child jump on the furniture ! (just that really. It's like her own personal trampoline and we have to get all that energy of hers out somehow!)

Kay Kay, Bri, Gigi the Cow, Papa Jim, Gramielle, Papa Mike, and GJ....thanks for making Ava's birthday so special for her and for us. Love you guys!
