Ava Loves Flowers

Ice Skating

After watching the Winter Olympics this year, Ava decided she wanted to go ice skating. She also told me that she wanted to try ski jumping and aerials, but I didn't think she was ready for that yet. So, on a Monday, we headed to Appalachian Ski Mountain, picking up Maddo along the way.

She had so much fun ice skating and playing with Maddox, that she made me take her back that Friday when Daddy could come with us.

Ava's Second Birthday Party

We celebrated Ava's birthday on Saturday, February 6. She had a Clifford-themed birthday cake and dog bone cookies.
