I took the Bose speaker and played Kids Bop Radio, Ava and the girls ran around, danced without worry, and then formed a conga line throughout the salon...

The cupcake cake... yellow and chocolate cake cupcakes!

Ava decided she wanted a party at Shear Innocence Salon for her 9th birthday...

Picked 6 close friends to invite...

I had tu tu's made for each guest and Nana put together cute party bags for each...

They all got to pick out nail polish first to get their nails done... and then on to hair...

The stylists did a beautiful job with all of the girls... braids, up-do's, colored chalk, and most certainly, glitter!

We had Em's subs, puppy chow party mix, fruit with dip, and cupcake cake...

We all sang "Happy Birthday" and Ava made a wish...

Opened presents... jammies, nail polish, and a beach bag/towel to name a few...

Ava and the girls laughed, sang, danced, and had a blast....just what she deserves for turning 9...

Ava, we love you so very much...Happy Birthday!
