Finally!

I say finally because Evelyns birthday is LAST of our families. I have done some serious blogging about her today, she started school, dance and had her birthday all in one week. Whew! It was busy, and very, very fun.


I kind of had my mind set that I would never make anything fancier than a two-layer round cake. I blame this on all of you. I thought I could hide all the fancy cakes everyone makes, and when my children do see them, somehow convince them that the plain ones I make are just as cool. So a week before her birthday when I asked her what color she wanted her cake to be (which had always brought excitement), she said she wanted a princess cake. I said, "So... pink?" No such luck. She wanted a princess cake. Thanks to YouTube, I figured it out and made a cake that's going to knock all your socks off. I mostly made it so I could blog about it. Just kidding, don't know why I'm making such a big deal about it.

Reveal:

Opening Presents. Earlier in the day she told me that she was going to have Gwen help her open presents and she did!

Rapunzel showed up...

After the party, we were saying goodbye to all the grandparents and our neighbor just happened to have his boat out. So Evelyn broke in her new fishing pole! Thanks again Grandpa Reed!

Until next year.
