Ava turns TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ava turned two and it was a fun moment. It had been a rough few days. I had just gotten home from my grandmother's funeral, and then had to attend the service for a dear friend, the evening of Ava's birthday/ Because of all that had gone on, we decided to not have a party and just focus on her at the privacy of our home, and just make it simple. she got her presents, the main one is a dwarf hamster named Ming-Ming. Ava loves her and spends lots of time with her. Thank you all for the gifts, comments, calls and just loving her the way we do.

Here are things Ava is doing and into at two years old:
