Gridley Birthday Celebration

On Sunday, January 13th we celebrated birthdays with family in Gridley.  It was Rich, Ava, and Dave's birthdays.  We enjoyed spending time with family and eating good food.  I made Rich & Ava a chocolate cake and Alicia made Dave an apple pie.  It was a fun and wild time.

Happy Birthday to Rich and Ava.  I put 38 on the cake for Rich instead of 38 candles, so we didn't cause a fire hazard.  I did put 4 candles for Ava.

Blowing out the candles.  I'm sad I didn't get a picture of Dave...sorry.

Rich using his favorite family heirloom...giant scary knife.  This knife was owned by Rich's great-grandfather who was a chef.  It scares me from the stories I've heard about the siblings chasing each other around the house with it.

Ava enjoying some ice cream and chocolate cake.

Ava got a lot of wonderful gifts.  She has been enjoying all of them.

Ava loves to unwrap gifts.

Ezra and Eli couldn't wait to play with Ava's pirate toys.  They had a good time together.
