Princess Cake

Lilia was swaying along and smiling to us singing Happy Birthday. She was so excited to eat her cake...well really just the icing. She doesn't even eat the cake.

The arrival of Ava Manni

Ava was clutch in coming to Lilia's party. It didn't matter who else came. She was the last to arrive and Lilia was asking us to pick her up so she could look out the front door window to look for Ava. I finally texted Katy to see how far out they were. Lilia was waiting by the window and when she saw Ava coming she ran into the house screaming, "Ava's here, Ava's here!"

When Ava finally walked in the door Lilia gave her a big hug and a kiss. Her birthday party was complete.

Disclaimer: I apologize to any one who is offended that Lilia wasn't as excited that they came to her party. You must understand the princess bond that Lilia and Ava have. I think it's unbreakable.

Now that's talent

My mom bought this giraffe in Lancaster and it wasn't painted. My dad's sister Cheryl painted it. She's insanely talented!!!!!!

Ava Manni ran to the kitchen to hang out aprons on it.

Playing with presents

Alex with the Grandparents

Alex is sleeping in his crib and has been for over an hour! There is hope!!!

Alex the baby

So many of our friends in Asia have done this...it's a toy stroller for your dolls, but it's strong enough to hold a real baby. We stuck Alex in and took him for rides! He loved it!
