READY TO PARTY DOWN

Tomorrow is the two-year anniversary of when I became an aunt. My little Ava Bean is officially in her terrible twos. To celebrate, Ashley planned a low-key dinner at the Pizza Factory. I was the first to arrive, and when I saw Ava I wished her a happy birthday. She replied: "Where is Stella?" Ashley and Riley booked a room so we could let the girls run around and play together, which they did.

After dinner we sang "Happy Birthday" and Ava loved every second of it. She just kept looking at everyone and smiling. Then she surprised us all by blowing out her candle all by herself!

Ava loves her mommy's high heeled shoes, so her mom ignored the advice of Glamour Magazine and bought a special pair just for her. It took her about a minute to get used to walking in them and soon she was running, jumping, and twirling in her very own high heels.

Ava came out with a load of gifts. Unfortunately, Cousin Stella was not happy about Ava getting all the attention and she threw a few tantrums when she didn't get to open a present. However, the birthday girl had a tremendous time, and that is all that matters. And when you ask Ava how old she is, she can tell you: "I'm TWO!"

Booking a room was a very clever idea. I'll have to keep that in mind the next time the fam gets together. And I loved that pic with the girls eating cake. It makes me laugh just thinking about it :). Thanks for posting!
