Ava's Birthday!

Ava had a wonderful 2nd birthday celebrating with a few old friends, some new friends (my coworker's children) and of course Bruce and Jason.  Unfortunately Norm was sick so he could not make it :( 

 

Ava's homemade birthday cake!

  Of course I learned how to sing "Happy Birthday to You" in Chinese 5 days after Ava's birthday! :( Oh well, I am prepared for Ryan's birthday!

Playing at the playground - she LOVES to spin!



 
  

Learning a new sport!

My coworkers were so sweet to buy Ava birthday presents - especially since Ryan & I only had one small gift for her (which was plenty for a 2 year old)!  She got a teddy bear (named Bruce), some traditional Chinese outfits (one of which she is wearing in the pictures above) and this awesome Dragon necklace which represents the year she was born! 

We were also surprised with a package in the mail from her Uncle Shawn, Aunt Tiffany, cousins Jordan and Landen!  She was so excited to get mail and really enjoyed opening the box to see what was inside!  She'll by styling at the beach this summer in her adorable new swim suit!
 

She loves her new dragon necklace (represents the year she was born)!
