Girls' Weekend

Molly, Ava and I left Friday around lunch headed to Birmingham for a girls' weekend with Kristi! It's become a fun tradition that Ava has been a part of from the start! She was such a good little traveler. After a quick stop or two along the way, we arrived in Birmingham. Ava was excited to see her Aunt KiKi and to run around her apartment for a while. After a little play time, we went to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner. Unfortunately for Ava, she was stuck eating her food instead of the delicious Cheesecake Factory food Molly, Kristi and I enjoyed...
but she did join the rest of us in enjoying the nice weather from the patio!

After dinner and a little shopping at the Summit, we headed back to Kristi's and stayed up WAY past Molly's and my bedtimes, but we had the best time catching up! The next morning, we woke up and Ava kept us entertained until breakfast. Ava enjoyed her breakfast...
Then she really enjoyed some fun time with some chocolate Cheerios!

After breakfast, Kristi tried to turn our sweet Ava into a Bama fan!Then while Ava napped, Molly, Kristi and I had a fun spa day! Ava missed out on the exfoliations and masks but woke up just in time to join in the nail painting...

This was Ava's first time to have her nails painted, and while getting her nails dry was quite a funny experience, Ava had a fun time...and her little nails turned out so cute!We had a relaxing and fun morning!

Then it was time to take Ava on another first - her first Greek restaurant - for lunch!
After lunch, we did a little shopping for Ava's first birthday party and then headed back to Kristi's to look at the weather and radar. We had such bad weather back home Saturday, and Molly and I did not want to be stuck in bad weather driving home. The radar showed a pretty clear drive home Saturday night versus rain and other bad weather Sunday. Unfortunately, the bad weather cut our girls' weekend short, but we all had such a fun time!
