Evee's 2!!!

Hey friends and family!

Yesterday little Evee turned 2. It's hard to believe that she's been with us (outside the womb) for 2 years now! Pretty amazing how fast it goes.

She is talking so much and is a joy!

I'll post some pictures here. We had a birthday party for her. Just invited friends over - the kids played outside and we all just hung out. Very laid back with brownies & ice cream, popcorn, fruit and lemonade. It was fun. Of course, I forgot to take pictures of that, but we got pictures of the morning when we did gifts. My friend took pictures at the party, so I'll try to get some of those from her.

I made her an apron, which I'm very proud of! We got her a craft box and she's already been cutting, gluing and coloring. We told people to not bring gifts or to bring stuff that they already had and wanted to "pass on" - so we got some great recycled stuff (books, bubbles, and homemade cards!).

Oh, and I did some video, but realized (just now) that when I turn the camera, you have to watch it side on. So I'll post an old video at the end. It was from when Mike, Joni, and Grandma were here (so a couple of months ago...she's talking more now), but you can still get an idea of her little voice.

She is wearing an outfit my parents sent her, eating a sucker (also from grandma and papa) and wearing the apron I made. She's dancing to some music...










And, the old video...

Aww... Happy B-day Evee!!! My goodness she is growing up so quickly. Maddie's jealous of the hair. :) The end of the video cracked me up. Isn't it funny that they'll grow up ALWAYS getting to immediately see pics and videos. Different world than when we were little. :) I'm echoing Renee... hearing your voices made me miss you more than I already did. We've been playing phone tag too long. I'll try and catch you tomorrow... Love and miss you!!!!
