FIVE

So I can't believe we have a 5 year old. It just seems like such a big step, but she is ready. Here she is celebrating with heart donuts for her class at school. That is one advantage to having a birthday so close to Valentine's Day.  Originally she wasn't sure since they didn't have sprinkles, but after a taste test the day before, she couldn't wait to share the treat with her friends.  Mimi and Mommy loved getting to see her interact with her classmates (hate we didn't get a picture with her -they are a busy group).  Ava is still a little on the shy side but was definitely counting down the days until her many birthday celebrations.  After Parker and Bryce's  in December and Cole and Mommy's birthdays in early February, she had lots of practice and was ready to wear that crown.  :)
