Aven's Third Birthday

Aven officially  became our "big girl" when she turned three years old.

To say that Aven was excited would be an under- statement.

And who could blame her? She had all her friends around her for a Cinco De Mayo-themed celebration! (Okay, that was the adult theme ...

... while the kid theme was Dora, Princesses, and Trampolines!) The kids got a lot of use out of the new trampoline.

The princess pinata was a hit (literally).

But the Dora birthday cake is was Aven kept asking about.

Aven takes her birthday cake very seriously.

And it was quite yummy.

Rory enjoyed the cake too.

As an end note to the festivities: We happened to order a little more from Baja Fresh that we actually needed. In addition to serving quesadillas to the kids every night for at least a week, we made two Mexican casseroles, concocted a creamy bean dip, and are drizzling salsa on just about everything we eat. But the best re-purposing of the party food was Daddy's huevos ranchos. Yummy.
