Birthday

Well the birthday week started off not so great. Ava got her first cold and cough which she shared with me. Poor little thing did not feel good at all, so it was a long first part of the week but by the weekend we were feeling much better...





I got a new digital camera from Ryan, which was a wonderful surprise earlier in the week. Saturday started off with the birthday fun when I went to get Ava from her morning nap and found this:

We then met my family for lunch at Charlestons. After lunch we headed to the mall, where Ava tried her first chocolate chip cookie:

We also made time to head to the park since it was such a lovely day, I had hoped to get some 10 month old shots but she was not giving up the smiles easy, here's the closest I got to a grin:

That night we headed to Bellini's to have dinner with friends...

Ryan got me this wonderful Ribbon cake from Raspberries and Cream Bakery, it is one of my favorites and was soo good!

So it was a good day spent with those I love and have loved me for all or part of my now 30 years!
