Tomorrow is Ava's 3rd birthday! Our little girl is 3 already! The time really does go so fast!

Today Ava is having a birthday party at Cecilia's (daycare) with "her kids" as she calls them. Last night we made Little Mermaid cupcakes with aqua frosting & pink sprinkles. Then we put together little goody treat bags for everyone. She is VERY excited about her special celebration with her kids.

Before bed, we announced that daddy will be taking tomorrow off work so we can have a day to celebrate her birthday together! We explained the plans we have for the day, which include THE BEACH - Ava's newly found fun place. Yes, it took almost 3 years to get our family to the beach.
We are not much of a beach going family - until now. Ava had a quick unplanned first visit to the beach a few weeks ago, and LOVED it. We decided it would be fun to plan a beach day. Ava's birthday seemed like the perfect time.

So last night, as we explained with great enthusiasm, the big day we have planned - Ava was very excited. Her first comment, completely serious, was "I DON'T WANNA SURF".

Surf? We have never discussed surfing, watched surfing, been surfing...where did she get this idea? We have only been to the beach once in over 3 years. SURF? You kind of had to be there, but she was very serious and it was hilarious. Anyway, we will be at the beach tomorrow and at 3:35 pm our little baby girl will be three years old.
But don't worry, we will not be SURFING!
