Ava's birthday party!

This afternoon we had Ava's 9th birthday party at the Skating Rink in our town. It was the easiest party ever!  The only thing that I had to bring was the cake and the goody bags!  Ava really wanted to have her party at the skating rink this year and she has been talking about it for months.  She LOVES celebrating her birthday!
Here's a picture of her cake, we got it at Wal-Mart and Ava had to have a peace sign on it.

The girls were running all around during the party so it was hard to get a good picture of them all together.  I did manage to get this one before they had cupcakes.  This was their crazy picture :)

Here is a picture of Grandma Jan and Graig

Brock invited his friend George.  Poor Brock got his top braces yesterday so his teeth hurt :(   He had a chocolate milkshake for lunch because his braces hurt sooooo bad.

Tomorrow is Ava's actual birthday.  We are going to go out to dinner and she is going to open the present that we got her.  She also wants to go and get an I-pod touch with her birthday money. 

Have a good weekend!
