For Ava Mae’s 2nd birthday, we had a dog themed birthday pawty and it was so much fun!! We had dog bone water bottles and all the kids got to “adopt a puppy.” The older kids used beads, string & pipe cleaners to make dog collars & leashes which was just adorable. With nana’s help, Ava made a dog collar for her puppy too! We even had one of the girls favorite real dogs, Bingley, attend.

Nora and Ava helped me decorate the night before and their JOY and excitement was very precious. Drew joked that the “pawty” theme was fitting as Ava was potty trained the week prior. Happy to report both potty training and the party went great!

I can’t believe our sweet Ava Mae is TWO! She is thoughtful, tough, silly and her sweet voice is next level cute. It was a joy to celebrate her with loved ones!!

The dog bone water bottles were a hit!

Sweet Zoe (3 months) slept through 90% of the fun haha.

Ava had lots of help from her big sis opening presents lol
