One side of our living room with a nice view of some city and mountains in the distance. I often find Elle in here watching the sunrise.
The other side of our living room with a dining table on the left side which you can't really see and on the right a library of art history books.
Elle's "Princess room". She loves it in here. 
Ava's room. She loves to sit in here and do puzzles and look at books.
This year was especially fun as Ava actually looked forward to her birthday. She would request a birthday song "ah-me" (for me) several time daily for a couple of weeks before March 9! She woke up and knew it was her special day... and she beamed all day long -- you can probably see in the pictures. And she had fun knowing that it was Dad's birthday too. She loved the songs, the presents, the candles, the strawberries, the "chocolate cake" (brownies) and ice cream.
