Ava’s Fifth Birthday and the Girls’ Birthday Party

Our big girl is getting older – she turned 5 on July 13th. Birthday morning started off with some presents. Here are the girls showing off their Anna and Elsa dresses.

Ava went through a few wardrobe changes as she tried on all of her new clothes….

Later the girls (Ava, Mom, and NeeNee) got their nails done. Ava is now hooked on manicures.

Ava of course had to try out her new Ezy Roller up the street.

The next day we had the girls’ birthday party. Of course we went with the Frozen theme ….albeit a bit more focused on the “summer” portion since we have the pool.
It just isn’t a party without a giant balloon.

Pre-party, the girls are chilling in their jammies.

After a bunch of swimming, the crew was ready for cake. Mom is doing a good job of lighting the candles.

While Ali is mostly focused on getting to the icing.

Afterwards we were able to get one photo of the girls somewhat calm.

Later in the week, Ava had her lunch and haircut outing with NeeNee.

And Ava had her first swim meet…
She was a little nervous at the start.

Ava's first swimming ribbons!

We had more fun during the week. We had a monsoon storm one afternoon. Ali (and Pepper) had fun with the rain.

And since the girls were wet, it was a perfect time for the pool. Ali loves the slide.
