Emma's Princess Party & Ava's Shoe Obsession

Ava poses for her princess picture at Emma's birthday party. All the pretty princesses. I love how frilly they all look-- so cute! Ava lining up her shoes

We had a fun, busy weekend in Fort Worth, seeing family, friends, attending birthday parties and Chad's 10 year high school reunion. It was good to see everyone, even though it was a fast and furious visit. Maybe next time we'll get to visit a little longer. The first 2 pictures are from Emma's 3 year old princess party. It was so cute. Julia decorated the house like a castle and all the girls were dressed up like princesses. They decorated crowns, ate lunch, listened to a princess story, and took pictures on a "throne." But Ava's favorite thing at the party was all of the little shoes the girls were wearing. My girl is obsessed with shoes-- big shoes, little shoes-- doesn't matter, she LOVES them. If you've been around her for more than 5 minutes wearing a pair of flip flops, she's probably either asked you for them, or just taken them right off your feet. The last picture is Ava lining up her all of her shoes-- one of her favorite games. She might end up being a little obsessive compulsive. That will probably be the one thing she gets from me. I have to fight those OCD tendencies! (And for those who are interested, she is sleeping great in her new big girl bed. She loves it and has slept through the night with no major incidents of wandering through the house. . .yet.)

It was so great seeing you this last weekend. I really do miss you, Chad and Ava. We hope to get to Abilene soon. I'm so glad Ava is sleeping in her big girl bed. They really can surprise us. Talk to you soon, Calista

I loved seeing you last weekend! We're always thrilled when you visit. Give Ava a big squeeze since I didn't get to hug her!

How cute! Life with a boy is so different than these pretty little princesses. Hayden already prefers playing with trucks and tools. I can't imagine playing "princess." I guess it's a little fun for the mom's too huh? Ava's so pretty. Thanks for blogging so much lately. I've had something to read each morning. Did you see the pictures of Jenn on my blog?
