family

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.. I LOVE my family.  I could not do life without them. 

Yesterday I met up with my sister and Ava for a lunch/play date.  We were supposed to do some mommy/daughter pics, but the weather man predicted rain so we didn’t. 

Anyway, we met up at my favorite fast food place, Chick-fil-a!  Yumm…  We had lunch then tried to let Ava play, but the playground was not toddler friendly at all and was super crowded.  Being the resourceful girls we are, we loaded up with our Chick-fil-a cups and headed down the street to McDonalds! Ha!

 

We had so much fun watching Ava.  She went from being a little apprehensive and timid to being very bold and making a new friend!  She was so proud of herself for going up the stairs and sliding down all alone.  And then even more proud when she discovered she could climb up the big slide and slide back down.  :)

And just because I can’t resist her perfect little profile…

At this little lunch date, I also gave my sis her birthday gift.  I have had it for about a month, and it’s been killing me not to give it early or at least tell her about it.  But I kept the secret!

I took a bunch of pictures from her pregnancy all the way to Ava’s second birthday and created a book for her to keep forever and ever.

It was a perfectly good day, and now I can’t wait to do it again!
