Princess for a day.






Ava celebrated her 6th birthday yesterday. She had requested a pink frosted castle cake after seeing a similar blue one in a book that the kids all like to look through. She was awakened by all of us saying, "Surprise!" to her too- after she had requested that the night before as well. =) Funny how she "planned" her own party, but seem genuinely surprised and happy when it all actually came true before her eyes.
There were presents and brunch and an afternoon out of the house at a lacrosse game and playing with the neighbor kids too. It was sweet and simple, but as the pictures show, she was as happy as could be. It sure is fun to be princess- if even for a day.
Happy Birthday, Ava. You are loved- just the way you are!

Oh, the cake turned out great. And after spending time with her recently, it does not surprise me that she planned her day. And then acted surprised at it all. I hope I get to meet her future husband some day. We really need to have a conversation to prepare him for this lovely princess.
