Our 5 year old Girlie

Ava has been so excited for her 5th birthday for months now and was "4 and a half" right up until the day of. She wanted to get her ears pierced, get a mermaid tail, and go to Jungle Jims with her two best friends.  All her wishes came true and she was the happiest little girl in the world. Of course, there were some tears and rather loud crying when the ears were pierced ( a little girl watching and begging her dad if she could get her ears done next decided she didn't want them done after Ava's reaction and left the store;) She and her friends, Hope and Ava loved Jungle Jims and the other girls were saying they were going to ask their moms to take them there for their next birthdays. We stayed for almost 3 hours and I think they would have stayed longer. Her friends gave her presents too. Hope gave her a Pocahontas doll which sings and Ava gave her a whole set of bead jewelry and they had fun making necklaces the next day. Such fun memories for her 5th birthday!
