Dad's 70th Birthday Surprise

Ava and I went back to Cincinnati to celebrate Dad's 70th birthday and surprise him with all the festivities.  It was a special celebration with the whole family.  I think he was surprised:)  We came in on Thursday and surprised him at Mike and Carrie's.  He was completely shocked and happy.  Then Saturday was the big celebration at Montgomery Inn.  You can say he once again surprised!  It was so nice to be there to celebrate 70 years and all the wonderful blessing we have had as a family.  Love you Dad!

Valentine's Sign and SIng Playgroup

Ava had a great Valentine's Day with her friends at the weekly playgroup.  We had a special guest that sang songs with signing.  The kids loved it and really grabbed their attention the whole time.  It was amazing!  Ava was even dancing and clapping to a couple of the songs.  We had a blast!

Ava got to decorate her very own cookie for Valentine's Day!  She loved and the best part is she got to eat some, her mom got the rest:)  It was a fun day!
