Evelyn’s birthday party was so much fun and we were so happy to get to celebrate with our family and friends. Unfortunately Aunt Holly had a wedding and Uncle Adam had a big school project so they couldn’t make it, but we will see them soon hopefully!!
This year, Evie’s party had a Mickey Mouse theme. Evie just loves Mickey! Our friend (and the baker at Barcelona) Stephanie made an wonderful Mickey birthday cake and it was delicious! Evelyn was just amazed by the cake and kept saying “It’s Mickey!”. We tried to have lots of Evie’s favorite foods – bacon-wrapped shrimp appetizers (she loves bacon – just like her daddy), hummus with veggies (carrots are one of the only raw veggies she will eat), Cincinnati-style chili for dinner, fruit salad packed full of her favorite blueberries, popcorn and of course cake & ice cream. We danced and laughed and played with balloons. Evie opened her presents and told everyone ‘thank you’ and gave them a hug. It’s important to Pat and I that she do this after each and every present – we do not want to raise an ungrateful child. She got so many cute things and she is one spoiled little girl! She loved it when everyone sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to her and even blew out her ‘2’ candle all by herself. We spent the rest of the evening just playing with new toys and watching basketball. It was a busy, fun, wonderful day!
We followed up the party with my mom and Shannon making breakfast the next day. A delicious egg casserole and cinnamon swirl coffee cake – YUM!! Needless to say, we ate well over the weekend.
I get a little teary thinking that my baby is 2. She’s so big now – a little girl and not a baby. I love watching her grow and learn new things, but I want time to slow down a little so that she stops growing up so fast!
Here are a few pictures from the party. I didn't take very many unfortunately, but we got some cute shots!
