The Amazing Cheese Stick Tradition

This could possibly be the strangest birthday tradition ever. I didn't plan it. It just sort of happened. When Ava turned 1 we happened to take her to Applebees. We figured a cheese stick would be a good match for a big 1 year old and we snapped a shot of her nibbling on it. Every year since we have braved the inevitable cold on December 15th and sat down at Applebees for the obligatory cheese stick picture. Tonight will be no exception. Some day I will create a scrapbook for Ava that contains every silly cheese stick picture and every birthday we were blessed enough to share with each other. Family rocks.
