Happy Birthday Day, Ava!

We celebrated MY BABY on Sunday. 

Her birthday is just so close to Christmas that we'd prefer not to have her party too close to holiday parties. People get busy, venues get booked. 

We try to keep her birthday a separate occasion. 

We make sure to use birthday wrapping paper. 

We don't ever "lump" birthday and Christmas together for her. 

For her 7th birthday party, she wanted to jump. 

So we chose Altitude Trampoline Park. 

We held her 3rd birthday party here as well and the kids all loved it. 

It did not disappoint!

We had the table for 2 hours and the party package included water bottles and pizza for lunch. And the required socks. 

Ava of course got Wendy's because she's allergic to pizza.

HOOOOW did my baby get so big? She lost BOTH front teeth and ugh. Just growing too fast! Mind you, she's still like 42" and 42lbs. So still a tiny thing. 

Their matching jumpsuits 😂

So cute. Don't get me started on these jumpsuits from The Gap. Lol. 

Gluten-free desserts! Cupcakes and then GF Oreos dipped in vegan chocolate. 

We got there right when it opened and that was great for a couple of reasons. There weren't a ton of people there (except for other party people) for the first hour or so. And there was abundant staff to keep things organized and clean.

I made sure to have hand sanitizer at our table. 

Look how freaking cute this one is. She's just so little. 

Mila and another older girl got into this dodgeball battle with a group of boys...and it was...omg. Lots of making faces and pegging each other with the balls. 

My Bubba in all her glory. Her whole life has been like a blur. 

Chow time! 

Reading the cards. Like OMG. Actually reading. 

It did start to get busy as we wrapped up our party. I think everyone had a good time! I know Ava was very happy and excited that some of her friends came out to celebrate. 

Lucky girl will get to celebrate again with family ON her birthday. (I get to go to her school and volunteer on her birthday too!)

Happy Birthday, Ava Mae.
