Ava’s Ninth Birthday Party

We celebrated Ava’s ninth birthday a bit early this year—friends and family joined us in Kansas for a sweet little luau last weekend. Many thanks to those who joined us in person and those who sent kind greetings from afar! My photos are below; you can see Doug’s here.

The day included near-tropical temperatures, limbo, Hawaiian snacks and a piƱata (held by one very brave dad after the ribbon broke).
