Ava's First Sleepover

Grammy & Pa invited Ava over for her very first solo sleepover.  I had never really thought of the fact that Ava had not stayed anywhere without Carli until she was invited.  At first Ava was not so sure, but when it dawned on her that she would be the center of attention and go on a "Grand Adventure," well, then she couldn't hardly wait to go!

Grammy & Pa had to go to Dallas on a Friday which is when Ava usually spends the whole day with Grammy.  We met Grammy & Pa in Jacksonville on Thursday night and handed off Ava with her bag of goodies and Frozen Blanket.  She barely gave me a kiss good bye she was so excited.

She had a great day, convincing Grammy & Pa to buy her donuts for breakfast and Braum's for lunch.  She apparently talked non-stop and thoroughly enjoyed her day! 

Friday's we usually get up a little early and stop by the donut shop before school.  Carli insisted on sending Ava a picture, "Dear Ava - I hope you are having fun on your adventure with Grammy & Pa.  I can't wait to see you tonight!  Gotta go to school now...love you - Carli."

Ava, with the help of Grammy replied, "I miss you too Carli.  My donut is yummy.  You are the best sister ever!"
