Evelyn celebrated her 2nd birthday on July 18th. It was a busy and fun sort of day.
The morning of her birthday was a youth temple trip, and since Ez is the Young Men's President, he needed to head off and help with that. There were also two families that were heading to the temple with the youth that needed their children watched after, so they came over and played along, making four extra kids at the house. My dear friend, Jen, came to keep me company (and sane) during all the fun. Of course, it wouldn't have been complete without her three cute kids too, making the grand total of two moms and eleven children!!! It was busy, but the kids all got along great and made it a fun way to spend the morning.
Evelyn thoroughly enjoyed her birthday. She knew it was her special day and made sure that no one helped her open gifts or blow out her candles. She had seen Joe and Alexis both have their birthdays just a few weeks prior to hers, so she knew what was happening. Evelyn loved, loved, loved opening her gifts! She got a new doll, some Fisher Price Little People items, a new doll high chair, a shopping cart, and some new toy kitchen supplies.
My favorite part of the evening was when we sang Happy Birthday to her. The candles were lit on her cake, and she just sat there and watched us and waited while we sang to her. Then, as if on cue, she leaned over to blow out her candles. The problem was that they were too far away from her. She tried twice, then turned the cake pan so the candle were closer, and blew them right out. I think it was so cute and clever how she figured it out!
Happy Birthday, Evelyn. We love you dearly!
