We celebrated Evette's birthday on Sunday when both grandparents and family could be together. Evette has been to a couple birthday parties already so she knew all about "Happy Days". We'd been talking with her about how her Happy Day was coming up, that we get to spend it with PapaMimi and PapaGigi and have cake and presents so she kind of knew what to expect [as far as you can tell that from a 2 year old...]. For dinner we all had Sweet Potato Chickpea Curry [a recent family favorite of ours - especially for Evette] and a delicious salad provided by Gigi.
And some good ol' family bonding time
And Presents!!!
[this girl may or may not have been spoiled rotten. Being the only child, only grandchild on one side, and with only one recent cousin on the other, it was bound to happen, my friends. Don't you know the sun rises and sets on this girl?]
Can I just add that all of the presents that she got were awesome? It was seriously great to get some "older" toys/activities that she just loves! She's really great at entertaining herself now because she has toys that are interesting and she can play and make-believe with. She's so grown up!
This face is pure happiness because she got a Happy Day Hat!
Seriously look at those eyes sparkle! Can you tell I'm enamored with my own child?
Besos!!!
Trying my hand at being creative and cute by making, of course, a dinosaur cake for my little girl!
Working on those candles!
Thanks, family, for helping us celebrate her Happy Day!
Also a big thanks to all those who mailed cards, texted, facebooked or brought something over to make it a Happy Day!
cute cake!
