Kostaroff Family

As our family is about to expand we wanted to create a space to share all of the upcoming adventures and pictures with those we are unable to see. Neither of us claim to be computer savvy or jouranlists so bare with the writing (or lack of!).

Celebrate! Ava's 1st Birthday Party!

We cannot believe she's one! What a great year it has been.



Grandpa and Grandma with the birthday girl.


Chase is such a great big cousin. He helped Ava open her presents and showed her how they worked.


Uncle Brian and Aunt Raendra prepared Ava for a transition from baby to little girl with her shopping cart! She is excited to fill it up and shop til she drops!



The Chocolate fountain was a big hit. The favorite for the grandpas was finding the best things to dip and feed to Ava. Grandpa Roger won the most clever with Ava's bottle!


Yummy yummy birthday cake. Ava was making sure most of it got in her mouth. She went for all the icing and was very upset when it was taken away.





Ava was so proud to be turning one she held it up for everyone to see!

Grandma Kostaroff read Ava some of her new books when the Ava would finally sit still.
Grandpa Kostaroff convinced Ava is was time to relax. I don't know who needed it more. Ava had a great day and was soaking up all the attention!
