Happy Birthday Evelyn!

Evelyn turned 5 yesterday!  Here she is at school with her best friend of the week, Gabby.  (It was hilarious, I couldn't get a picture of Evelyn at school without some little girl jumping in!)

Gabby also joined us after school for a play date and an "afternoon tea" of cake and ice cream.  This year Evelyn wanted "a cake that looks like a chocolate cake" instead of a doll cake.  Less work for me! But I still made it fancy with flowers and pearls!

Daddy hugs!  It's so fun to have Daddy home right after school (the perk of starting his work day at 5 am).

Let's eat this cake already!

For her birthday dinner Evelyn wanted scrambled eggs.  That's usually our fallback dinner, so another easy request!

This year Evelyn wanted a pink watch "with numbers all around it" (not like Mommy's watch that just has dots).  She also wanted a kitty that meows and purrs and moves.  And what better excuse to give new pajamas?  Here she is with all three!

So as not to be outdone, Bridget wanted a picture in her pajamas holding a kitty too.

We love our bright, beautiful Evelyn!  She is growing into such a fun and loving little girl!  Happy birthday, dear!
