Ava turned 5 on April 7th and had a few friends to a pool party at a local hotel. It was an owl theme if you can't tell by the cake. The cake is made from rice crispy treats and then covered with frosting, oreo cookies, and mini m&m's for the eyes.
Ava got a "Happy Birthday" banner too! It was hard to get a good picture with all the sunlight coming in through the window!
The hotel let us have their breakfast area for the evening and it worked out perfectly for all of our family and friends.
Here are my first attempt at Owl Pops! They were a lot of fun (and work) to make, but they turned out so cute and are very yummy!
Here's Ava, Mommy, and Kale swimming before the party began. Kale was stuck to me and didn't let go nearly the entire time. Ava loves to swim and had a ball with all of her friends! 
Here's Kale playing on the luggage cart! 
Ava got so many nice gifts and has her spring and summer wardrobe taken care of! 
Here's Ava and two of her friends listening as she reads her birthday card! 
And....here's the whole gang! It was a great party and Ava even thanked me the next day! She did tell me on our walk Sunday that she felt older! Ava's 5 year highlights!

Happy Birthday to your adorable Ava! Great pictures Alicia! I love the one of her with her two friends reading the card! Too bad you don't like closer...she and Marcel could be in kindergarten together :)!

Second, I think it is the fashion element. They are presto nike shoes, however, they also are fashion designer shoes.
