Mr. Snowman
Ava and daddy got to make a snowman in the dark - just as the snow was starting to stick! Look at the CUTE little guy...that snowman is not bad either ;) And look at Mr. Snowman in the morning- all covered in snow!
And I couldn't resist this magic photo of the snow in our backyard. Isn't the light marvelous?!
Snow day #1
Snow days with daddy are always a ton of fun - filled with sledding down our hill in the backyard, snow angels and yummy hot chocolate...weeeeee.
Snow and Strawberry boots
Ava LOVES these hand-me-down strawberry boots...even though they are 3 sizes too big! She can't leave the house without them on. Needless to say we are on the hunt for boots her very own size.
Happy Birthday Ava
Happy 2nd Birthday my little Ava! What a blessing you've been to Daddy and I - I can't imagine one day without your beautiful smile, your mischievous grin, your lighthearted giggle, and your abundant energy. To know you is true joy. I love you. I wish you could stay young forever...
(and in true cheesy style- I've quoted a song below because I couldn't say it better myself)
May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true.
May you always do for others
and let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
and climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous
may you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the light surrounding you.
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
May you stay forever young,
forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
-Bob Dylan
