Funnest Day Ever

It seems like since having kids, my life is full of "ah ha" moments. I couldn't figure out why adults didn't care as much about their birthdays once they had kids. Well, I quickly figured that out on Sunday. Evelyn had her second birthday. She was treated like a princess the whole day, we did everything she wanted to do. Watching her open her presents was more fun than I've had in a long time. I was thinking about what Christmas must be like when you have a few chillins. Sounds like fun. Here's a re-cap of the day.



We went to the river to feed the ducks, and she fell to sleep on the way. The rest of us hung out so she could nap a little. You can see Derek camped out there in the background. Evelyn is holding the bread.

Gweners and Derek hanging out. (I think this would be better if Derek was wearing a wife-beater.)

Mommy and little-sister.

After about 20 minutes we woke her up. This is a rockin' photo because I captured the bread in mid-flight while holding a baby. Thank you!

Home for the birthday party! This was the first present she opened. She was very proud to show Great-Grandma and Grandpa Reed her presents.

Derek is always stealing her things.

Opening...

One of her favorite gifts, a baby car seat. All day long now she's telling me that she's ready to go to the store while holding this.

Singing "Happy Birthday" for the millionth time. We sang it all day long and she loved it. In fact, we haven't stopped singing it.

Blowing...
Licking...

Who needs a clown when you have dress-up cloths and three people willing to look like a crazy tribal family?

Happy Birthday to the sweetest cutest daughter!
