What a blessed day we've had!
It was gorgeous here this week. Ava and I spent a lot of time outside then she and Daddy played outside while I cooked dinner. I love this time of year. Around here, it's the time of year when all our neighbors come out of "hibernation". This year, we've learned that one of our neighbors had a baby! It's really kind of fun to get to know everyone all over again.
Today we enjoyed being a family and celebrated our Savior by spending time taking in the pure splendor of nature. We woke up early and traveled to Purina Farms to visit the Easter Village. It was magnificent...Ava was able to get up close and personal with lots of baby animals :) She got to pet a bunny, a chick, and a pig! She spent some special time with a border collie. She brought that love home to share with our dog, Lily...and Lily amazingly warmed up to her and they really enjoyed each other tonight.
We got to see the Easter Bunny! Ava looked so brave compared to some of the other children there. Many of them were a little nervous, but NOT our little Ava...she was very curious.
We watched a really fun and interactive dog show. The dogs were so fun to watch and very eager to participate. Ava even saw "Reindeer" (aka Wrangler, a dog that hangs out at Nana and Pawpaw's house).
We topped our trip off with a tractor ride. The entire ride, Ava kept saying it was Pawpaw's tractor. She loved it.
