Birthday Smilebox

Make a Smilebox greeting

Happy birthday Ava!!!

I can't believe my baby girl is 2 years old! How time flies. I officially have a 2-year-old and a 3-year-old, is that possible? Lol. Here are some pics of the diva herself on her new tricycle from her Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Dave (oh how you guys spoil her! :) and in her new princess playhut from Mommy and Daddy. I am making corned beef and cabbage for dinner (A Bailey tradition for luck and prosperity in the New Year) and we are having cake after dinner and Ava has a few more presents to open.

Our baby girl has been such a wonderful joy and blessing to us. She is one of the sweetest children I've ever met...when she wants to be, that is, lol. She loves to give hugs and kisses and say, "I love you Mommy, I love you Daddy, I love you Aiden!" She is talking more every day and I love to hear the funny things that come out of her mouth. She is very helpful and it makes her so happy to please us. On the flip side, anyone that has ever witnessed one of her tantrums is in for a real treat, lol.

Happy birthday my sweet, beautiful girl! 2010 promises exciting things for our family, and I can't wait to experience it all with you!

Just a few of my favorite pics from yesterday and today!

Classic Ava

This is from today (Christmas day). The kids were playing their new Wall-E V-Motion game. Ava had gotten Wall-E stuck and refused to let me or Chuck help her. It cracks me up because it is typical Ava behavior--and her facial expressions just make me laugh! Lol.

Merry Christmas!

What a wonderful morning we had! Santa came to the Bailey household and the kids were so excited. It was a frenzy of wrapping paper and Aiden had pretty much everything unwrapped in less than an hour, lol. He and Ava are both very happy. Both kids made out very well!
Aiden's loot: a Jay Jay jet plane race track, a marble race set, a Cars V-Motion game, Frank the Combine from the Cars movie, Luigi and Guido from the Cars movie, Spiderman slippers, a Cars flashlight, a kid K'Nex truck building set, a firestation for his Hot Wheels city, a set of 12 books for beginner readers, the Light Bright cube, and several games--Hungry Hungry Hippos, Lets Go Fishing, Ants in the Pants and Cooties. Ava received a Magnadoodle, 3 princess barbies, 4 dress-up dresses and a shoes/tiara set, an oven mitt/apron set for her kitchen, Dora slippers, a Wall-E V-Motion game, a Wall-E flashlight, a Mr. Potato head Pet Pals set, and her big present was a vanity with a play curling iron, blow dryer and phone.

I have TONS of video clips that I need to get uploaded and edited, and then I promise I will post them in the next day or two. For now, here is a slideshow of pics from this morning.

Merry Christmas and we hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday!
