I really made an effort to get home on time for Ava's big day. I was so glad I did. When I got home, she was so excited and happy.
So, Ava had gone to the store previously and saw Fliker scooter with Nichole. However, Nichole had told her that we couldn't afford that this year, so Ava was not expecting to get this scooter. We hid the scooter in Ethan's closet, so she had no idea at all that a scooter was going to be her main gift. In fact, after she had opened her other presents, she even told her brothers that she was happy with gifts she had gotten and that she didn't need a big scooter. Well, after she opened her presents, we all pretended the gift opening was over, but then I went into Ethan's room to retrieve her last present. This was her reaction...so cute!
Brad and Jake were great to help put the scooter together
Because it was Ava's birthday, Eli didn't understand that he'd be left out of the gift giving. He told everyone that it was his birthday. He wanted a real helmet for his birthday. So, Ethan gave him his old helmet from his football team. Eli loved it!
After opening gifts, we were able to go bowling over to Fat Cats in Lehi
