Quatre ans!

Notre petite Ava est quatre ans demain!

It was right about this time at night (22:30) on this exact day 4 years ago that we were packing up my overnight bag for the hospital for when I thought labour might start (not for another week or so). Little did we know that our little Ava would make an appearance less than 24 hours later!

I remember every detail about those 15 hours, from the time labour started to the time she was born and I held her in my arms. Her birthday will always be such a special day for me.

Today we celebrated her 4th birthday with all of her friends and most of her family. It was definitely a birthday party geared towards kids (which was kind of disappointing for the adults, but I hope they didn't mind too much). Ava loved the activities and enjoyed hanging out with her friends and cousins that came to celebrate with her.

Special thanks to tante Joelle for helping to decorate the cakes - they looked absolutely enchanting! :)

Bonne fete ma belle! Je t'aime gros comme le ciel.

PS - happy birthday to our nephew Phillip, who will be celebrating a birthday tomorrow too!
