Happy 8th Birthday Evelyn!

This evening Kat and Ross came over to help us celebrate Evelyn's 8th birthday.  Evelyn had the agenda all planned out - open presents, eat dinner (grilled burgers), then eat birthday cake.

Earlier today, Julia and I went out on a secret mission, so Julia could choose a gift for Evelyn.  You can tell by the look on Evelyn's face that she likes the Lego set hiding under the wrapping paper.  (I'll bet Julia is excited, too, to play with this new toy.)
 Evelyn also got a dress outfit, a cardboard castle kit (similar to Julia's cardboard tree house) and a couple of books - including this new fairy chapter book.
 Then we blind-folded the birthday girl and led her outside to see the big present.  She was thrilled to get a new purple bike - her first bike ever!
 Evelyn couldn't wait for everyone to sing to her - she told me that was her favorite part of the evening.
 After making a wish (and nobody knows what that wish was), she blew out the candles.  Just like that, our little Peanut is 8 years old!
