This past weekend we celebrated Ava's birthday. Her actual birthday night (Tuesday) is a busy one with homework, two seperate dinners and baseball practice so the weekend just makes more sense. Riley and Meme drove over to visit us, and it was so nice to see them!
For her birthday lunch we decided to visit a hibachi restaurant. Ava really likes sushi so we let her get her very favorite california roll.
It is so fun to watch new experiences through the eyes of your child. I had forewarned all three of them that there would be a large fire on the grill but everyone would be safe. (Aunt Margie had a pretty terrifying experience with fire in a Chinese restaurant when she was a child so I didn't want to repeat that.) All three of them looked a little frightened at the fire. But they all laughed and giggled about trying to catch rice in their mouths and getting lemonade squirted into their mouth. It was a fun experience. Dawson refused to try the food, but he wasn't feeling well. I bet he would have liked it. Ava loved her sushi and noodles and Carter really liked the Miso soup (a HUGE suprise because it had large mushrooms in it) and the noodles.
After dinner I took Ava to the restroom and I heard some loud "Happy Birthday" singing. And sure enough, they came for her with ice cream and she wasn't there! Whoops! But here is a video of their second attempt!
We topped it off with a trip to see Cinderella. What a beautiful message for a six year old girl, "Have courage and be kind." The scenery and costumes were absolutely beautiful as well. We had a great time!
Then it was home for some cake (thanks Daddy!) and her new doll.
What a wonderful sixth birthday!
