My baby is 3!Evie is
a fierce, smart, goofy little girl and we are so proud of her!
That face
We celebrated her birthday a few days early
at build-a-bear with her cousins.She
had a pretty good time, but as usual, was not interested in doing what everyone
else was doing – the girl goes her own way!We had pizza and cake afterward, and she was pretty excited about all
her presents!
Her bear, which is named "Me"
Waiting for the party to start. Claire was not impressed.
Instruction time
Stuffing time
I love this sweet picture - the kids are making a wish for Evie
by holding hearts that got stuffed into Evie's bear
Snakes in the store
The party crew
Excited about her new bike helmet!
"Blowing" out the candle... with a little help from Will
Bear bath-time with Sarah
Spidey-bear
Let them eat cake!
She loves her Grandpa
Aunt Amy took Evie to the Disney store after the party to use
her gift card, and when selecting between an Anna or Elsa doll, Evie
matter-of-factly said that she would take both.Had I been there, I totally would have said no way, but her doting aunt spoiled
her!
When you get what you want
Grandma got the three cousins roller skates, and the girls are obsessed! Sadly the weather was pretty nasty, so we let them try it out on our hardwood floors (probably not my best decision). Maggie got the hang of it pretty quickly, and I think Evie will do great once she's on something with a little more friction.
All the safety gear

Future derby girls?
Jamie took the day off on Evie’s actual birthday since he
had to be at his school all evening for their open house.They went to the aquarium and had a special
lunch at Rainforest Café.Jamie really
enjoyed that one-on-one time with his sweetie.Maggie stayed home with Grandma to work on Evie’s birthday cake.
Evie opened all her presents as soon as she came downstairs
on her birthday... that's the face of determination
Fishy friends

Eating Grandma and Maggie's special cake
Evie got a bike from Grandma and Grandpa and is pretty psyched!
Jamie and Amy's birthday was a couple days later!We had dinner with the family the night
before, and then he and I drove to Grand Rapids for brewery fun on his actual
birthday (sans kids).Jamie had a lot
of fun…
