She woke up pretty excited that is was FINALLY her birthday... she had to wait a whole year for it, you know! HA!
We made her a sign with balloons as well.
Opening her brother's gift to her...
So... Evelyn got one of these from her Aunt Kristin last Christmas and she LOVED it. About 3 months ago the loom snapped in half and she was SO sad. Matthew spotted one while we were shopping a while back and knew he HAD to get that for his sister. He is thoughtful like that. Needless to say she was pretty excited and thankful!
She had absolutely NO clue what this was...
.. and was SO excited to see that it was a guitar!!
We start lessons in January and she is so thrilled.. she can't wait to learn to play!
Birthday cinnamon rolls...of course!
Gosh she is a beauty!
We celebrated with her favorite meal, jumbalaya and cornbread, and followed with ice cream sundaes with a candle on top for the birthday girl!
Evelyn Joy... the years seem to be passing quicker and quicker... and you are growing up before our eyes. We are so thankful God gave you to us eight years ago. You are full of life, full of creativity, full of joy. We pray that you continue to grow in confidence in who God made you to be, continue to grow in character and in humility, and to continue to be the best that you can be. We are so proud of who you are and are excited to see what this year has for you! We love you, baby girl!!
".. and Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart." Luke 2:19
