Wow, I have a lot to fill in for the last few months, but I thought I'd start with the most recent. Evelyn just turned 4 on March 16th. I can hardly believe how big my girl is. She's definitely leaving that baby stage and is now a certifiable kid. We celebrated the event at our house on Saturday with the cousins (all but charlotte who is in baltimore), who happen to be Evelyn's best buddies. We had a colorful burro pinata, which we pulled off as being a horse. Even the little munchkins gave it a try this year. The kids mostly are thrilled just being together and I love seeing Evelyn's whole being light up when everyone around her is singing Happy Birthday to just her. It was a great day and I'm thankful Evelyn has so much love around her with her family (which is growing exponentially, i may add. evelyn now has 8 cousins). Thanks guys! Evelyn got a big girl bike and has put her tricycle to rest, at least part-time. She's already great at learning how to stop and steering. We can't wait for many family bicycling trips around the neighborhood this spring.
Evelyn's actual birthday was on monday. She woke up to the spare bathroom having been decorated with a dolphin shower curtain, pink towels, rug, toilet seat cover, a crystal bowl for all her hair things and jewelry, new soap, a step-stool so she can actually reach the sink now, and all other things girl. She was delighted, to say the least, and has been brushing her teeth about five times a day, bathing twice, and not fighting getting her hair done ever since. Great. We topped the day with a trip to cold stone where she picked out bright blue-dyed Cotton Candy flavored ice cream with m and m's mixed in. And then the evening completely got out of hand after that:) It was a good day and we once again we went crazy with birthday indulgence. You only turn four once, right? Thanks for joining our lives, Evelyn. You bring more excitement, joy, laughter and amazement than I ever imagined possible and I am so thankful to be your mom.
