Here is some solid evidence that Ava’s daddy was indeed a part of the fairy festivities. He took the afternoon off a work so he could watch his little lady blow our four candles on a flower cake and run around in pink tulle and glitter wings.
He didn’t make it into the little birthday story as the Fairy Good Father and or the Fairy Daddy didn’t have quite have the right ring to it. To be sure, he was quite adamant that he was not be called anything with fairy attached to it.
I can respect that.
As the absolutely-not-a-winged-creature-from-the-forest, he was responsible for all the amazing photographs (and video–he’s a camera man extraordinaire).
He was also responsible for making the fairies fly.
For weeks, I heard many variations of this question: “Mama, when I’m at my party with my big purple wings, will I fly?”
“Only if there is a very mighty wind,” I would reply.
Last Friday, that mighty wind was her daddy.
Hold on tight baby girl, if there was ever a daddy who could help a little girl soar it is this one.
Those pictures with HungryMan are beautiful! What a delightful keepsake to have!
That first picture almost made me bawl.
There is nothing like a little girl and her (non-fairy) daddy. Nothing.
LOVE that last shot! Gotta love daddies of fairies, too. I had misty eyes through the whole thing, as well. So wonderful…thanks for sharing with US!
nothing fairy about him. you, on the other hand…
I got tears in my eyes reading this post, and I can see I’m not the only one! Beautiful!
blink, blink, sniff. Precious!
What an amazing party she had!! I felt like I was there reading the recap and seeing the pictures.
Oh, that is precious. That first picture will no doubt be treasured, always.
How special and so wonderful. Ava is a blessed lady to have such amazing parents!!
What great pictures!
ahhhhhh….
I can’t even pretend to get a party like this… but it looks ever so fun!
Oh, this is too sweet for words. Daddy/daughter moments like this are so special. What treasures you have in them!
How proud I am to have a son who loves his family so much (actually TWO sons!). What a special party, and what a special time with Daddy too!
